Environmentally Friendly Products in Sacramento: Renewal by Andersen Windows
People are doing everything they can to help the environment, from recycling soda cans to driving fuel efficient cars. The corporate world is following suit and all over the planet companies are redesigning products and operations to reduce pollution and create efficient products. California window companies are no exception, and in Sacramento, Renewal by Andersen windows are one of the most green-friendly windows consumers can find.
Environmentally conscious manufacture
Hall's Window Center, a well known California window company, sells Renewal by Andersen windows in Sacramento because Andersen is committed to the environment. In Sacramento, Renewal by Andersen uses Fibrex® material, a material that blends wood fiber reclaimed from Andersen's manufacturing process with vinyl to create a sturdy, long lasting material. Since Fibrex® material doesn't require painting or wood preservative, it reduces VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions in California. Window companies can do more than just save energy, though.
The green aspect of these windows goes beyond the design. Andersen's environmental policy extends to all aspects of their operations. By emphasizing sustainability, reuse and recycling of their manufacturing materials, Andersen has proven they are not a company forced into compliance by government mandate but genuinely dedicated to environmental concerns. They began their environmentally friendly focus decades ago, when they began to research better use of all their materials, as they developed Fibrex® material.
ENERGY STAR Qualified
Renewal by Andersen windows have the added benefit of being ENERGY STAR qualified. The High-Performance Low-E4 glass is over 41% more efficient than traditional dual-pane windows in the summer, and 35% more efficient in the winter. Installing ENERGY STAR rated products purchased from California window companies reduces consumers' energy bills by as much as 15%.
ENERGY STAR compliant windows sold through replacement window companies bear the label of the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). This makes shopping for windows easy in Sacramento. Renewal by Andersen was the first window manufacturing company to pursue NFRC rating on a national scale.
Green Seal Certified
Another reason California window companies like to sell Andersen windows is that Andersen is the first and only window manufacturer to receive Green Seal Certification. The certification noted, "If all windows and patio doors in the U.S. were as energy efficient as those made by Andersen Windows, we would save up to 2.5% of the annual U.S. energy consumption." That's an estimated 200 gallons of oil per household each year!
Green Seal Certification looks at more than just the window's energy efficiency. The use of materials other than heavy metals, the dependence on post-consumer material for packaging, and dedication to consumer education all were part of the reason Green Seal gave this certification. This goes to show that in Sacramento, Renewal by Andersen is one of the best choices you can make, for quality and energy efficiency.
