What is Fibrex®?
Renewal by Andersen creates Fibrex® windows from a composite material. We make this material from 40% reclaimed wood fiber by weight and 60% thermoplastic polymer derived from recycled material. The result is a durable, eco-friendly material that outperforms many traditional window materials in several key areas.
Strength and Durability
One of the most compelling advantages of Fibrex® material is its exceptional strength and durability. Its strength, twice that of vinyl, allows for windows with narrower frames. This means more glass, more natural light and more views. Unlike wood, Fibrex® material does not rot, decay, or allow fungal growth, requiring less maintenance. It also does not warp, rust, or fade like other materials when exposed to environmental conditions, keeping your windows looking great and performing excellently for years.
Excellent Energy Efficiency
Fibrex® windows offer excellent energy efficiency, which can lead to significant savings on your energy bills. The material’s thermal insulating properties help keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. When combined with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, Fibrex® windows can significantly reduce heat transfer, making your home more comfortable and reducing the workload on your heating and cooling systems.
