Smart Use of Materials: 3 Ways We Care for the Environment

Smart Use of Materials: 3 Ways We Care for the Environment

 

Nobody takes the goals of ENERGY STAR®, SCS Global Services, and other pro-sustainability entities more seriously than Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco. Beyond making houses more beautiful through patio door and window upgrades, our company’s ultimate goal is to make communities greener one home at a time.

Smart Windows

Compared to other window contractors in San Francisco, our long list of accolades speaks for our unwavering commitment to preserving Mother Nature. With our strong awareness of the many pressing eco-related challenges we all face today, here are some of our initiatives to care for the environment and make homes healthier:

Using Reclaimed Wood

Our company puts a premium on recycling. Our proprietary frame and sash material, Fibrex®, is made of 40% reclaimed wood fiber by weight. Most of the wood we reuse comes straight from our window manufacturing facilities, minimizing the amount of waste we generate.

We do this to ease the need for cutting new trees and prevent the congestion of landfills. We strive to serve as a role model in the industry, showing other San Francisco window companies the way to responsible manufacturing.

Reducing Greenhouse Emissions at Home

Our company has developed a variety of high-performance glass solutions, allowing you to achieve maximum energy efficiency in the Bay Area. Our revolutionary glass technologies deliver superior insulation to minimize the flow of heat around your home. This way, your windows and patio door would block most of the undesirable infrared radiation and prevent your conditioned air from going out.

Keeping Indoor Air Fresh

Our company is proud of our Scientific Certification Systems Indoor Advantage Gold™ certification. This recognition means our products meet the strict indoor air emission standards in the United States.

Little to the knowledge of most homeowners, building materials naturally pollute indoor air over time. Through off-gassing, they release toxins to the very air your family breathes day and night. As an eco-friendly San Francisco window contractor, our certification tells you that our products can help mitigate this natural threat and keep your indoor air fresh.
