The material used to make your windows matters, and it has a huge effect on energy efficiency, durability, looks and longevity. If you’re looking for window replacement products with the kind of material that offers all those, choose one that uses Fibrex®. It is exclusively used to make Renewal by Andersen® windows, and it offers many advantages to homeowners.
Strength and Durability
Fibrex is a composite material that uses wood fibers combined with polymers. This makes it strong, sturdy and durable, and it is also as easy to use as vinyl. Fibrex makes it easier for our Renewal by Andersen team to make thin frames and use bigger glass panes. Compared to vinyl materials that easily contract and expand with the changing of temperatures, Fibrex resists expansion and contraction, which holds the seal of the glass regardless of the weather.
Energy Efficiency
Fibrex has first-rate thermal features ideal for window replacement. Renewal by Andersen combines this material with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass. This combination allows your house to remain cool in summer and warm in winter. The efficiency reduces your bills and saves you money in the long run. On the other hand, aluminum frames aren’t as efficient because they conduct cold and heat. Warm air leaks out of a home during the cold winter months and seeps in during summer.
Low Upkeep
Compared to other materials, Fibrex doesn’t require painting or scraping. It doesn’t rot or decay. This means it needs little to no maintenance, yet it is long-lasting and durable. You’ll get your money’s worth if this is the material used for your window replacement.
