Fibrex® Material Other Materials <br />Strength Because Fibrex® material is strong, we can make our sash and frames narrower. <br />Narrower frames mean more glass, more view. <br />Vinyl frames are known to have a higher expansion/ <br />contraction rate and can bow, breaking the glass seal. <br />Insulation Fibrex material has superior thermal insulating properties. Combined with <br />Andersen® High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, this helps your home stay <br />warmer in winter and cooler in summer. You can save money on your energy <br />bills. Your home feels more comfortable. <br />Aluminum window frames conduct heat and cold. <br />Heat leaks out of your house in the winter and into <br />your house in the summer. <br />Low <br />Maintenance <br />Fibrex material never needs scraping or painting. It won’t rot, decay or mold.*Fiberglass frames are painted and may need <br />regular maintenance. <br />Beauty Renewal by Andersen replacement windows preserve the architectural beauty <br />of your home. Frame and sash design reflect the shape and lines of your <br />original windows. <br />The unique extruded Fibrex material can be made into any kind of window– <br />including curved specialty windows. <br />Most replacement windows have square profiles that <br />may look artificial in your home. Vinyl frame material is <br />often thicker, reducing glass area. <br />Fiberglass can only be made into straight lineals. <br />Environmental <br />Responsibility <br />40% of the raw material by weight used to make Fibrex material is clean, <br />reclaimed wood fiber. Reclaimed materials in the manufacturing process can <br />also be reground and reused. Renewal by Andersen® windows meet Green <br />Seal's science-based environmental certification standards as well as being <br />ENERGY STAR® qualified for meeting strict energy efficiency criteria set by the <br />U.S. Department of Energy. <br />Andersen windows are the only windows with Green <br />Seal certification. <br />Fiberglass is a thermoset material and cannot be <br />reformed into new profiles. <br />Warranty A window is not just glass and some framing material. It’s a precise <br />combination of glass, frame and quality installation. We back it all with <br />a 20/2/10 Limited Warranty* that is one of the best in the business. <br />More than half of all remodeling firms have been in <br />business less than four years.** Installation is rarely <br />covered in the written warranty. <br />* For a copy of the Renewal by Andersen 20/2/10 year limited warranty, contact a sales representative. ** Small Business Administration Website, www.sba.gov <br />Reinventing the window <br />Innovation has been a hallmark of Andersen Corporation <br />since its founding in 1903. From implementing “mass <br />production” techniques in 1904 (nine years before Henry <br />Ford), to producing the first completely assembled <br />window unit in the industry (1926), to becoming the <br />world’s largest specialized window frame factory in 1929, <br />our guiding principle has always been to “make a product <br />that is different and better.” Each step of the way we have <br />incorporated the latest technologies, fine precision, and <br />high standards in our quest to be better. <br />Introducing Fibrex® material <br />One of our most innovative ideas is Fibrex material. <br />This revolutionary composite combines the strength <br />and stability of wood with the low-maintenance features <br />of vinyl. In fact, you might say it’s an evolutionary <br />product—Andersen scientists developed the first hollow <br />vinyl window in the U.S. in 1959, and engineered <br />composite window materials in the 1960s and 1970s. In <br />1992, Andersen perfected composite window technology, <br />and patented Fibrex material. Today, Fibrex material is the <br />perfect choice for your new replacement windows. <br />Fibrex® material pellets <br />Fi b r e x <br />® Ma t e r i a l : <br />a b e t t e r a lt e r n a t i v e , a b e t t e r w i n d o w
