Richmond Window’s exclusive partnership with Renewal by Andersen® is another show of our passion for being eco-friendly.
What if the products you use every day could make the planet healthier? And what if they could save you money in the process? Andersen Corporation’s heritage includes a long-standing commitment to energy efficient products and environmental stewardship. Andersen, including Renewal by Andersen, recently earned ENERGY STAR®’s Partner of the Year award.
Did you know? The average home uses significantly more energy and is responsible for more carbon emissions than the average automobile.* It’s on us to reduce those emissions and start making our communities safer by making our homes greener. Boosting your home’s energy efficiency has countless benefits, including increased property values, enhanced neighborhood livability, and longer lives for older homes. Choosing to replace your inefficient windows and doors with eco-friendly Renewal by Andersen products is a great place to start.
When Andersen Corporation founded RbA, they knew that they had to break the mold in order to succeed. Andersen set out to make RbA the premier start-to-finish replacement window service by focusing on science. We built our business on the latest energy and material technology, and it shows in our products. Today, RbA provides homeowners across the country with high-quality windows and doors that make your home safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient.
Renewal by Andersen® and its parent company, Andersen Corporation, are the only window companies to receive the Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) IndoorAdvantage Gold™ certification. This certification is the strictest indoor air emission standard in the United States*.
Most of us spend 90% of our lives indoors, where toxins can enter the air through off-gassing: a process where toxins are released through evaporation from building materials. Some products continue this evaporation for years after their installation, which means you continue to breathe these chemicals night and day. Choosing responsibly manufactured products is good for everyone. With Renewal by Andersen® windows and doors, all you’ll breathe is fresh air.
Renewal by Andersen® windows have achieved the highest SCS certified recycled content of any window replacement company.
Our Fibrex® material frames and sash contain 40% reclaimed wood fiber by weight. Fibrex® material offers the strength and insulating value of wood with the low maintenance features of vinyl. It never requires painting and will not crack, pit, corrode, or rot.**
We reclaim much of our wood fiber from Andersen Corporation’s wood window manufacturing facilities.
High-Performance Low-E4® glass is made from a minimum of 12% reclaimed glass by weight.
Standard on all Renewal by Andersen® windows, High-Performance Low-E4® glass features an innovative coating that, when activated by sunlight, can help reduce water spots. The result: a better view and easier cleaning. What’s more, our glass helps block harmful UV rays entering your home and cuts down on noise pollution by reducing sound penetration.
Construction waste is a major source of landfill waste in the United States. Every day, Renewal by Andersen replaces windows in homes that are less than 10 years old. Choosing products that are built to last is one of the most important ways to limit landfill waste. Renewal by Andersen products have a long life cycle, backed up by one of the strongest warranties**** in the industry.
Saving a few dollars now could mean another replacement project just a few years down the road. When you invest in Renewal by Andersen® windows and doors, you’ll have confidence your new windows will provide many years***** of comfort and security.
