Compare Renewal By Andersen Fibrex® to Infinity From Marvin Ultrex® Frame Material
- Ultrex® windows are constructed using silica sand—an incredibly robust and widely available natural resource
- Both the frames and glass of Infinity from Marvin Ultrex® products are sand-based, ensuring uniform expansion and contraction. This unique composition, along with thermally treated frames, contributes to the remarkable fact that Infinity from Marvin Windows resists to seal failures, demonstrating advanced thermal stability.
- Exclusive Acrylic Finish: Infinity’s patented acrylic finish is not only smoother, but also three times thicker than that of its competitors. This unique 3-layer acrylic finish, exclusive to Infinity from Marvin, offers significant benefits. It effectively prevents oxidation, corrosion, and color fading. The finish’s durability is supported by a 624 AAMA verification, indicating it has successfully endured rigorous testing to simulate extreme conditions over a product’s lifetime.
- Renewal by Andersen® Frames are a composite of 60% vinyl and 40% wood shavings, creating a stronger vinyl window. However, this blend retains typical vinyl window challenges such as warping, stretching, fading, chipping, and peeling.
- Fibrex® frames exhibit a tendency to expand and contract at a rate three times greater than the glass they encase. This disparity can cause the frames to pull away from the glass, potentially leading to seal failure.
- Fibrex® Frames lack a protective acrylic coating. This absence makes them more susceptible to cracking, peeling, chipping, and fading over time.
50% Slimmer Frames: Renewal By Andersen vs. Infinity From Marvin
- While Infinity from Marvin® and Renewal by Andersen® share a century-long history in Minnesota with similar commitment to quality windows, distinctions arise in their frame materials and craftsmanship, setting them apart.
- With Ultrex® frames, nearly 2 inches slimmer than Renewal by Andersen® frames, Infinity from Marvin® unveils a distinct advantage. The Ultrex® Fiberglass frames, being three times stronger than RBA Fibrex® frames, invites more natural light through its slimmer, elegant design – making Infinity the right choice
- Infinity from Marvin’s Ultrex® frames, as strong as steel, expand and contract almost identically to the glass, preventing gaps and seal issues. Additionally, Infinity from Marvin® stands out as the only window featuring an extra three layers of acrylic capping to prevent color fading, chipping, peeling, and cracking.
