Fibrex® by the Numbers: How It Bests Other Materials

Fibrex® is one of the reasons Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta is the number one window company in the region. Our composite framing material combines the winning advantages of wood and vinyl for your replacement windows in Atlanta. Why is it superior to any window material you could find today? Let’s look at the numbers:

Twice Stronger than Vinyl

Fibrex is two times as strong as vinyl, allowing it to withstand the roughest weather conditions without losing its weathertight seal. It hardly contracts and expands under extreme temperature swings. Fibrex is a product of real wood fiber and our proprietary polymer. It boasts incredible strength, stiffness, and moisture repellency. As a result, it makes your windows endure the worst of Mother Nature for a very long period.

700 Times Better an Insulator than Aluminum

To complement our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass packages, Fibrex has exceptional insulating value. To put things into perspective, it blocks heat transfer almost 700 times better than aluminum. Its ability to conduct significantly less energy makes it a smart choice for window replacement in Atlanta, where it could get muggy in summer. Fibrex-made products are a worthwhile investment to help reduce your heating and cooling costs significantly every month.

90 Million Board Feet of Lumber Saved

Our patented framing material is one of the industry’s most sustainable. In fact, it has helped saved millions of board feet of lumber since its first production. Fibrex is made of 40% reclaimed wood fiber and 60% thermoplastic polymer by weight (some of which is likewise reclaimed). Manufacturers collect most of its ingredients straight from Andersen’s manufacturing facilities. Fibrex minimizes the need to cut new trees because it repurposes unused pieces of wood.

20 Years of Ageless Appearance

Thanks to our very first long-term durability study, science proved that Fibrex can remain intact under the brutal winters and oppressive summers. This is why we confidently guarantee it to not rot, decay, rust, corrode, blister, flake, pit, peel, or encourage fungal growth for 20 years. Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta is perhaps the only window replacement contractor in Atlanta that provides this kind of powerful warranty.
