FIBREX MATERIAL.
®
STRONG ON PERFORMANCE.
GENTLE ON THE ENVIRONMENT.
With Fibrex composite material, you get the best of both worlds: a top-performing product
®
that is environmentally responsible.
Developed by Andersen, Fibrex material is a revolutionary structural composite material that
blends the very best attributes of vinyl and wood. Fibrex material saves on natural resources
because it is composed of 40% reclaimed wood fi ber by weight. Special polymer formulations surround
and fi ll each wood fi ber, enabling top performance.
The result is a material that provides uncommon value and enhances the quality of any project. In use for nearly
two decades in Andersen products, Fibrex material has proven its strength and durability in all types of climates.

A REVOLUTIONARY BUILDING MATERIAL
• Fibrex material is twice as strong as vinyl, so weathertight
seals stay weathertight
• It blocks thermal transfer nearly 700 times better
than aluminum to help reduce heating and cooling bills
• For exceptional durability, Fibrex material retains
its stability and rigidity in all climates
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE
• Since Andersen developed the highly sustainable Fibrex
material, reuse of waste wood fi ber has prevented
the harvesting of nearly 90 million board-feet of timber
• 100 Series windows can help builders earn LEED points
®
in three key categories: Energy & Atmosphere, Materials &
Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality
• 100 Series products meet or exceed California Section
01350 Specifi cation, a California indoor emission
standard — one of the toughest in the country
• Like all Andersen windows, the 100 Series product line is
designed to last* and help reduce future waste streams
