3 Valuable Characteristics That 'Composite Material' Windows Offer

Window frames come in a variety of choices - classic wood, durable vinyl, and hard-wearing aluminum, among others - each of which offer various benefits and drawbacks. If you are considering getting replacement windows for your Mason City IA home, then the best framing material to go with is composite, which has qualities to ensure that you will enjoy beautiful and functional windows for years.

 

Take a look at three characteristics that make Fibrex® - a proprietary composite material featured exclusively in Renewal by Andersen® windows - better than other frames on the market:

Beauty: Fibrex, a low-maintenance composite material, comes in unique dark exterior and interior colors. The material comes in hues like Terratone®, a patented color with a grayish undertone, and Forest Green, which can give your home a stylish, updated look.

Durability: Fibrex doesn't contract or expand as much as other types of windows. This minimizes deformation and warping that can cause gaps that make air loss possible. Fibrex will not crack, pit, corrode, or rot. It also resists moisture that can cause the growth of mold. What’s more, it requires no re-staining or repainting; moreover, it can withstand extreme temperatures and other harsh elements.

Ordinary frame materials such as vinyl and aluminum require regular maintenance that Fibrex doesn’t need. Additionally, it offers more strength compared with other frames; its weather tight seals are guaranteed to last.

Sustainability: Fibrex is made of 40 percent reclaimed wood fibers and 60 percent thermoplastic polymer, which is likewise partially reclaimed. Excess materials in the production process can be remanufactured.

Fibrex also reduces VOC emissions as wood treatments are unnecessary to preserve quality. Furthermore, this composite material is energy efficient as it reduces transfer of heat between spaces about 700 times better than aluminum.

When you need new windows for your Mason City IA home, make sure you pick a beautiful, durable, and sustainable composite material for your frames; pick only Fibrex.
