Anderson Windows Wood Vs Vinyl. Fiberglass is a tough weather resistant material. Fibrex or composite vs vinyl wood. Vinyl is used only in the cladding of windows and is found in the 200 series and 400 series product lines.
Wood windows are even more energy efficient than vinyl and now with the fibrex exteriors that some manufactures like andersen windows use they are just as maintenance free as vinyl. Jeld wen aka jeld wen windows have been produced since 1960 so the company has been around a while too.
We use it to keep exteriors maintenance free and combine it with beautiful wood interiors.
This combination of a weather resistant vinyl exterior the strength of a solid wood frame and the beauty of a wood interior performs well beyond what vinyl can achieve on its own. But all of this greatness comes with a price of course. Composite window frames are made from a mixture of two or more materials like wood plastic metal and vinyl. 30 bay 45 bay.
