If you’re looking to have window replacement, you’ll need to choose the right material and a certified contractor to work with. Luckily, for you, one of the best window materials is available on the market today. Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania offers the exclusive Fibrex® frame material. It has the durability of wood, with the ease of maintenance of vinyl materials.

In this post, we’ll explain why Fibrex is the ideal replacement windows material.

Unparalleled Strength and Durability

Our Fibrex frames are made of 60 percent liquified polymer and 40 percent reclaimed wood. This makes it extremely strong and easy to maintain. Since it’s a stable material, we can make windows in various shapes and sizes, and with narrower frames. This isn’t possible with conventional windows since their frames tend to expand and contract, leading to damage, and glass breakage.

Enhanced Insulation

Another reason Fibrex windows are a great option is that it enhances your home’s insulation. Our windows feature High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass that makes your home comfortable all-year-round as it keeps your home warm in the winter, and cold in the summer. It also offers superior thermal insulation over other contemporary windows since they conduct cold and heat with relative ease.

Increased Curb Appeal and Easy Maintenance

You can rest easy as Fibrex doesn’t peel, pit, chip, or flake, since it doesn’t expand or contract. As such, it maintains an airtight seal which can be difficult with steel and wood windows. It’s also highly customizable as it’s available in multiple colors and is very easy to maintain. It doesn’t require scraping or painting, compared to wood windows that are prone to water-related issues. It’s a worthwhile investment as it is durable and long-lasting.

Only a reputable and well-trusted company understands why you should take your time when considering your options. So, when you’re looking for excellent sliding windows, make sure to hire our professional services at Renewal by Andersen of Central Pennsylvania.
