Fibrex® Window Frames Outclass Traditional Wood Frames in Northern Virginia (VA) Homes

For years, wood frames were considered the best material to use for residential replacement window frames – and for good reason. Wood is stronger and sturdier than other window frame materials and provides superior insulation when compared to traditional vinyl frames. As an industry leader in residential replacement windows, Renewal by Andersen^® wanted a better material to use during the manufacturing of replacement windows in Northern Virginia (VA).

Renewal by Andersen^® is dedicated to the quality, energy efficiency and sustainability of replacement windows. That’s why we are proud to offer our proprietary Fibrex^® window framing material to homeowners in Fairfax, Alexandria, McLean, Round Hill, and other areas of Northern Virginia (VA). All Renewal by Andersen replacement windows are framed with the state-of-the-art Fibrex^® material. So whether you choose double-hung replacement windows, specialty replacement windows, or awning replacement windows, your windows will stand out from the traditional wood-frame replacement windows in Northern Virginia (VA).

Fibrex^® is created by blending wood fibers reclaimed from Renewal by Andersen® manufacturing processes with thermoplastic polymers, the end result being a window framing material that is as strong and stable as wood, and as easy to maintain as vinyl. Fibrex^® replacement window frames offer numerous benefits over traditional wooden window frames:

Durability of Fibrex^®: Durability is one downside of using traditional wooden frames for windows. Wood is susceptible to rotting, peeling, or cracking after being exposed to the elements, and this drastically decreases the window’s energy efficiency and the home’s overall appearance. Since Fibrex^® is made up of wood fibers as well as durable polymers that are water and weather resistant, your Renewal by Andersen^® replacement windows will not rot, peel, flake, or require repainting.

Energy Efficiency: Thanks in part to the Fibrex^® material used for window framing, ENERGY STAR^® has approved Renewal by Andersen^® residential replacement windows and doors for their overall energy efficiency. Compared to traditional wood frames, Fibrex^® frames are more energy efficient, allowing Renewal by Andersen^® replacement windows to save homeowners in Stafford, Springfield, Middleburg, Warrenton, or Lorton, Virginia (VA), up to 25% on energy bills.*

Easy to Clean: Cleaning wood window frames is not easy, and the alternative framing material – vinyl – lacks strength, stability, and energy efficiency. With Renewal by Andersen^® Fibrex^® window frames, your replacement windows will have all of the positive attributes of wood frames, as well as being nearly maintenance free and very easy to clean.

Eco-Friendly: Renewal by Andersen^® has been named Green Seal certified for its energy efficient and eco-friendly replacement windows. Since Fibrex^® frames include wood fibers recycled from the manufacturing process, Renewal by Andersen^®replacement windows are energy efficient once installed, and eco-friendly during manufacturing.

Renewal by Andersen^® has been providing residents in Fairfax, Reston, Purcellville, Oakton, Alexandria, and Vienna, Virginia (VA), energy efficient replacement windows for years. Since Fibrex^® frames are used on all Renewal by Andersen® replacement windows and doors – from replacement casement windows to replacement bay and bow windows – any replacement windows you choose are guaranteed to be energy efficient.
