Fibrex Composite Material: The Best For Your Windows

Windows are essential in a home and majority of these are designed with materials such as wood, aluminum, or vinyl. Window contractors in San Francisco consider these to be the traditional choices. However, through advancements in technology and as ecological concern for our planet became more apparent, a search for a more sustainable composition for has been done within the industry.

 Renewal by Andersen created a material that satisfied the search of the industry, called Fibrex that is now recognized as a leading brand for windows.

 Fibrex is composed of 40% wood fiber with 60% thermoplastic polymer. The materials used to make this are all reclaimed from Andersen plants, making its manufacturing process environmentally friendly. Its durability has impressed a lot of homeowners. Also, it has been proven to be highly efficient because it doesn’t need to be constantly replaced, unlike ordinary window materials. By reducing waste of any sort, it completely helps sustain and protect the environment.

 It is also important for you to know the main advantages of Fibrex windows. Let’s look at them:

• The materials can actually block thermal transfer 700 times more than aluminum. This means that you won’t need to spend a lot of money on air conditioning or heaters. It will also help you save up on your electric bills.
• Fibrex doesn’t need to be applied with wood preservatives, which lessens Volatile Organic Compound or VOC emissions, which are components that are really harmful to the environment.  It also never needs the treatment of paint or have it stained, and it also resists rot, decay, fungal growth, blisters, peels, pits, corrosion, and flaking.
• It is also twice as strong as vinyl, which makes it the perfect material for harsh weather conditions.
