    Fibrex® or Vinyl: Which Should You Choose for Your Home?

    Vinyl windows are often great contenders because of their low-maintenance quality, thermal resistance and cost-efficiency. However, if you really want windows that will last for a very long time while providing superb energy efficiency and the best bang for your buck, you might want to give Fibrex® a try.

    Windows installation expert Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta shares a few important facts about Fibrex and why it’s a better option than vinyl.

    Basic Facts About Fibrex

    Fibrex is a composite material used in making Andersen windows. It has the stability of wood and the easy maintenance commonly attributed to vinyl. Because of these qualities, Fibrex has gained the favor of many homeowners and the approval of many window professionals.

    The material can be used for making different types of windows including casement windows, sliding windows and even custom windows. So for whatever type of window you need for your home, you can opt to have the reliability of Fibrex for your own windows.

    Is Fibrex Really Worth the Hype?

    Energy efficiency is a major consideration for many homeowners. While vinyl and Fibrex are both energy-efficient, Fibrex can definitely bring more to the table — especially in terms of sustainability, durability, and strength.

    Vinyl is usually made from virgin plastics, meaning their production uses up completely new materials. Meanwhile, Fibrex is partially manufactured using reclaimed materials. So if you are looking for the more eco-friendly choice, Fibrex is the winner.

    And since Fibrex has more than twice the compressive strength of vinyl, you can count on it to last longer as well. Fibrex can tolerate more temperature changes than vinyl, so you don’t have to worry about issues like warping. It also tends to be slimmer than vinyl, but it can hold the same size of glass that vinyl frames can support. This feature should pique your interest if you want to be able to maximize an outdoor view with a larger pane.
