Fibrex® Window Frames Outclass Traditional Wood Replacement Window Frames in Pennsylvania (PA) Homes

For years, wooden frames were considered the gold standard for replacement windows and doors in Pennsylvania (PA) and across the United States – and for good reason. Wood is superior to any other window framing material when comparing strength and stability, not to mention it provides greater insulation than traditional vinyl window framing material. As a leading window manufacturing company in the industry, Renewal by Andersen® thought that another framing material could be more energy efficient.

Renewal by Andersen® demonstrates its commitment to quality and energy efficient products by using a state-of-the-art material on all Renewal by Andersen® replacement windows and doors. Renewal by Andersen® is proud to offer its composite Fibrex® framing material to homeowners in Elkins Park, Villanova, Valley Forge, and Swarthmore, Pennsylvania (PA). Fibrex® frames will allow your home’s windows to outclass traditional wood-frame replacement windows.

Fibrex® is a composite of thermoplastic fibers and wood fibers reclaimed from Renewal by Andersen® manufacturing processes. This combination creates a material that possesses the strength, stability, and insulating properties of wood as well as the low-maintenance durability of vinyl. Compared to wood window frames, Fibrex® offers numerous benefits to Pennsylvania (PA) homeowners:

Durability of Fibrex: Wood is not as durable as other framing materials used for replacement windows and doors. It is prone to flaking, peeling, cracking, and rotting after long-term exposure to the elements, which drastically causes a decrease in energy efficiency. Fibrex® is comprised of durable polymers that are weather- and water-resistant, which means your replacement windows will not rot, discolor, flake, or require repainting.

Energy Efficiency: Because of their eco-friendly framing material, Renewal by Andersen® replacement windows and doors are ENERGY STAR® rated. Renewal by Andersen® residential replacement windows are able to save Pennsylvania (PA) homeowners up to 25% on energy bills* since they are more energy efficient than traditional wood frames.

Easy to Clean: Wood window frames are not easy to clean, and the alternative material, vinyl, is lacking in energy efficiency and strength. By installing Renewal by Andersen® replacement windows in your Philadelphia, Elkins Park, Swarthmore, Valley Forge, or Villanova home, you will have nearly maintenance-free and easy-to-clean windows that possess all the positive attributes of wood.

Eco-Friendly: Fibrex® frames include wood fibers recycled from Renewal by Andersen® manufacturing processes, which makes them not only energy efficient after installation, but also eco-friendly during manufacturing. These state-of-the-art Fibrex® frames are a major reason why Renewal by Andersen® windows are considered Green Seal certified.

Renewal by Andersen® has been providing homeowners in Pennsylvania (PA) with quality window replacements for years. Whether it’s a replacement bay and bow window, replacement awning window, or replacement specialty window, contact Renewal by Andersen® today for all of your replacement window and door needs.
