Fibrex Windows Facts

Fibrex windows are made from a material that combines the strength of natural wood and the low maintenance of vinyl. Andersen Windows has set up a network of exclusive Renewal by Andersen dealers who are authorized to sell, install, and service Fibrex products. They offer superior product, superior installation technology, and superior support - a total solution to a homeowner's window replacement challenges. There are several factors that set the Renewal by Andersen solution and Fibrex windows apart from today's vinyl windows:

• Fibrex is a composite made from a patented blend of engineered pine wood fiber bonded with a specially forumlated thermoplastic polymer. Fibrex not only delivers a strength, rigidity and thermal performance equal to wood, it also delivers stability superior to wood with the texture and appearance of natural wood.
• The polymer-coated Renewal windows are also resistant to flaking, blistering, peeling, craccking, and corrosion so that there is no need for painting or regular maintenance. Fibrex is also resistant to bowing and cracking - conditions that lead to air and water leakage. An excellent insulator (about 700 times better than aluminum), Fibrex eliminateds the transfer of heat out of your home and eliminates the ability of cold temperatures outdoors to chill the window areas inside.
• Renewal by Andersen windows are available with many grille options, tilt-in features for easy cleaning, mortise and tendon-style joints instead of welded corners, traditional chamfered check rails, and a range of external colors.
• Renewal by Anderesen windows have received the Green Seal award, among other environmental awards. Green Seal awards are given to manufacturers' whose products cause significantly less harm to the environment than competitors'. Renewal by Andersen windows use reclaimed wood fiber from the Andersen Window plant. The energy savings of Renewal windows are aboe the reduced resources savings. No other replacement window manufacturer has received the Green Seal award.
