What are Fibrex® Windows and What Can It Do for Me?

Renewal by Andersen®, the top windows contractor in Milwaukee, has always been proud to say that the frames of our windows are made from the revolutionary material, Fibrex ®. But a lot of people are still clueless as to what this amazing material is and what its benefits are.

To better educate residents, RbA of Milwaukee gathered some of the most asked questions from our previous clients and asked our window experts to answer them:

What is Fibrex?

Fibrex is a composite material made up of 40% wood fiber and 60% percent thermoplastic polymer. The result of this mixture is a material that is stronger and more durable than any wood, retaining its stability and rigidity even on extreme temperature rises and drops. Unlike wood, Fibrex does not rot, decay, or resist fungal growth. It also won’t flake, blister, peel, pit or corrode.

Furthermore, most of the materials used in constructing this amazing product are reclaimed from the 65-acre Andersen Corporation manufacturing plant, making this material a sustainable and “green” building product.

What are the benefits of having Fibrex framed windows?

Well, aside from its durability, Fibrex can significantly help in reducing your energy consumption at home. We tend to rely on our heating and cooling devices too much on hot summer days or cold winter nights, and this can result in soaring utility bills.

As it blocks thermal transfer nearly 700 times better than aluminum, having Fibrex windows at home can help in keeping your home comfortable, whatever the weather outside is.

I love the classic look of my house! Would the Fibrex windows affect my house’s overall look?

The true beauty of Fibrex is that it’s customizable. It can be crafted to mimic the look and texture of nearly any other material, especially wood.  So even if you have a classic or a modern home design, Fibrex can still blend in.
