Cottage Grove, Minn (September 15, 2008) - Renewal by Andersen, the start-to-finish window replacement subsidiary of Andersen Corporation, is pleased to announce it received Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) certification for two important elements: indoor air quality and recycled content.
Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is an important issue because many people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors, either at home, work or school and poor indoor air quality can directly affect the health of its occupants.
Homeowners considering home improvement projects are increasingly interested in ensuring the products they install don't degrade the indoor air quality of their home.
Some building materials can release toxins into the air through evaporation-a process called off-gassing. This evaporation can continue for years after the products are initially installed which means homeowners continue to breathe these chemicals as they sleep and relax in their home.
Renewal by Andersen is the only window replacement manufacturer to receive SCS Indoor AdvantageTM Gold certification. This standard sets the toughest limits for indoor air emissions and guarantees that products contribute to a healthy and safe indoor environment.
