Choosing the Right Material for Your Home
When choosing windows for your home, two popular options stand out: Andersen 100 Series Fibrex® windows and all-vinyl windows. Both offer unique benefits, with differences in material, performance, aesthetics, and cost. Understanding these distinctions will help you make the best decision for your home and budget.
The Benefits of Premium Made-to-Order Vinyl
Vinyl windows are a favorite among Charlotte homeowners who want high-end style and energy efficiency at an attainable price point. Our made-to-order vinyl solutions, like the Mezzo, are custom-sized to your home for a perfect, airtight fit.
-
Low Maintenance: Say goodbye to scraping and painting. Vinyl is renowned for its durability and holds its smooth, uniform appearance for years with zero upkeep.
-
Custom Aesthetics: Choose from a wide variety of colors and finishes to perfectly match your home’s architecture.
-
Proven Durability: Engineered to withstand the Carolina sun and storms, premium vinyl won't rot, peel, or corrode.
-
Energy Efficiency: Invest in high-performance glass packages that reduce your utility bills and keep your home comfortable year-round without breaking the bank.
Why Choose the Andersen 100 Series?
The Andersen 100 Series is a premier alternative to vinyl, crafted from Andersen’s patented Fibrex® composite material. This unique blend of wood fiber and thermoplastic is engineered for homeowners who want the ultimate in durability, sustainability, and modern design.
-
Superior Strength: Fibrex is twice as strong as vinyl, allowing for thinner frames and more glass area. This gives your home a sleek, contemporary look without sacrificing structural integrity.
-
Extreme Weather Resistance: Designed to withstand the Charlotte heat, these windows won't fade, flake, blister, or peel. They can handle temperatures up to 150°F without warping.
-
Sustainable Design: Fibrex is composed of 40% reclaimed wood fiber by weight, making it an eco-friendly choice for the environmentally conscious homeowner.
-
Seamless Aesthetics: With a beautiful matte finish and clean, seamless corners, the Andersen 100 Series offers a high-end architectural look that elevates your home’s curb appeal.
