Fibrex vs. Fiberglass Windows

If you’re a homeowner who’s planning a window replacement, you probably want to take your time with research so that you can be sure that you’re getting the best bang for your buck. And that can be difficult when there are so many options on the market today. This article from Renewal by Andersen^® of Milwaukee offers some clarification and comparisons to make it easier for you to understand the ins and outs of Fibrex^® vs. fiberglass windows and decide if Fibrex windows are right for you.

What Are Fibrex Windows?

Fibrex is a specialty material only offered by Andersen Windows & Doors. It is a composite material made from 40 percent wood fiber and 60 percent thermoplastic polymer that doesn’t require wood preservative treatments or painting. Fibrex windows are twice as strong as vinyl and retain their stability in all climates, making them an excellent investment for any homeowner.

Choosing Between Fibrex & Fiberglass

Fiberglass is another popular material used in window replacement. Both Fibrex and fiberglass are strong and require little maintenance. They also have a similar price point. But where fiberglass has a distinct artificial look to it, Fibrex can mimic the warmth of natural wood, which many of our customers like. In the end, choosing Fibrex vs. fiberglass windows comes down to the look you prefer and availability in your area.

Hear From Our Customers

Jason and Brett did an awesome job installing our doors. We had separate installers a month earlier for our windows who also did a fantastic job. They were all very professional and cleaned up almost better than the area looked before the installation! Since these were both jobs that took more than one day the installers were great at keeping us informed on the status of where the project was at along the way.

I cant express how happy we are with choosing Andersen for our window installation. Our sales representative was knowledgeable with product and answered any questions we had without hesitation. I did also fill out a survey that was sent in an email, but sadly I failed to personally name the two gentlemen that performed the actual installation. Barrett and Francisco were our guys, and let me tell you, they were outstanding!!! They did Excellent work and were professional as well as efficient and made this a smooth, none evasive process for us. I strongly recommend this company and these installers to anyone in need of windows!!! My husband and I could not be more pleased we chose Andersen for replacing our windows!!!

This was a great crew to work with. Both the original install manager we worked with (Jay) and the install team (Daniel, Mason, Tony, Ethan, and Jose). Everyone was very professional and knowledgable. They answered all my questions and the end result on the house is great. In 3 days they replaced an old bay window with a new bay window, a set of french doors on the patio with a sliding patio door, and our old front door with a new front door and storm door.
