Windows, <br />hardware, finishes and packaging <br />materials all undergo testing. <br />The company’s innovation grows <br />from its talented and committed <br />employees. Andersen family <br />values of excellence, integrity, <br />innovation and partnership <br />speak to the success of its past <br />and guide a future of unlimited <br />possibility. <br />“Renewal by Andersen benefits <br />from the rich tradition of the <br />Andersen® brand.

From the <br />supply chain to the manufacturing <br />line to the products themselves, <br />Andersen strives to improve the <br />return on its resources by making <br />windows and doors that perform and <br />last. <br />1970s Andersen sees the extra wood <br />created by its manufacturing process <br />as a potential material resource. The <br />company develops window sash <br />made from reclaimed wood fibers <br />and thermoplastic polymers. The <br />new material performs and weathers <br />well. But manufacturing methods are <br />inefficient until developments are <br />made in the next decade. <br />1993 Fibrex® material used as a sub- <br />sill component in the Andersen® <br />Frenchwood® hinged patio door. The <br />Fibrex® material sill was selected for <br />its superior strength and resistance <br />to rot and decay, and performs <br />exceptionally well in this demanding <br />role. <br />1995 Renewal by Andersen founded. Now <br />one of the largest window <br />replacement companies in the U.S., <br />Renewal by Andersen windows <br />incorporate over 40% reclaimed wood <br />fiber by weight from other window <br />manufacturing operations. <br />2008 Renewal by Andersen® windows have <br />achieved the highest SCS certified <br />recycled content of any window <br />replacement company. <br />Fibrex® material
