3.2.5 FIBREX REPLACEMENT WINDOW
Fibrex windows are a unique product that is made by Anderson Corporation? Basically it is a composite material that is made of wood fibers mixed with copolymers or epoxy resins. The division that carries this product line is called Renewal by Anderson and their presence in the window marketplace is to sell replacement windows, as opposed to Anderson which primarily sells to the new construction industry. Fibrex replacement window will not rot, or need maintenance of any kind. It is not a wood clad product so there is not natural wood at all that could deteriorate over time. In addition it can be painted and has more of a traditional wood window look than an all vinyl model. (4)
3.3 TYPES OF MATERIAL USED IN MAKING WINDOWS
3.3.1 WOODEN WINDOW
For over 28 year the bay areas leading source for craftsman qualify construction, installation and restoration of wood windows and doors. High heating bills windows that don’t• open and close easily flaking and peeling caused by d rot street noise leaks, fogging and condensation [4].
3.3.2 WROUGH IRON WINDOW
Wrough iron windows are a secure and attractive ornamental enclosure that enhances the beauty of your home through its sophisticated and stylish designs. Wrough iron is used to make decorative items and is generally made out of the purest form of iron. Because of this, it is some what more resistant to •rust than cast iron. This feature of wrough iron makes it best suitable for windows. A wrough iron window can improve the outside appearance of one’s home or professional setting.
3.3.3 ALUMINIUM WINDOW
Traditional aluminium windows are best suited for mild climates, but, thermally-improved aluminuum windows can stand extreme whether condition. Their C - 30 or higher structural ratings make thermally improved aluminium windows installation ideal for light commercial building. As primary windows, aluminium will usually do a better job of stopping noise than any other material.
Advantages of aluminium over all other materials are:
1. It is light in weight
2. It has high thermal conductivity
3. It stops noise than any other material
4. Have low relative density
5. It is very malleable and ductile
6. It has moderate tensile strength
7. It is very good conductor of heat and electricity (4)
