From glass marbles to fiber optics. - What is really exciting about Fiberglass window products is - the more you know about Fiberglass products in general, the more you will exude that comfort level to your customers. Once you realize how many products are being replaced with engineered Fiberglass composites, you get the feeling that this is the material of choice - no matter what the application.
The following is a list of common products that you are familiar with:
Transportation:
Automotive bodies and Bumpers, from the luster finished sleek performance sports car, to large utility construction equipment, Truck Beds and even armored vehicles, that are constantly exposed to the extremes of climate and subjected to abuse.
Air Craft:
The high strength to weight ratio of Fiberglass, is ideal for plane fuselage, propellers and nose cones of high performance jets.
Boats:
Once completely dominated by wood and aluminum are now 95% dominated by Fiberglass, due to its ability to withstand the elements under heat and cold, it's resistance to corrosion, both salt water and atmospheric pollution, yet retain the beauty of it's finish with minimal maintenance.
Recreation:

Construction:
Fiberglass is being used to build bridges - "H" and "I" beams and decking. Steel rebar is being replaced with fiberglass, which has the strength of steel, but resists corrosion. Suspension Bridges, for spans so wide that if made with steel, they would collapse under their own weight. Fiberglass guard rails which have proven to be stronger than their steel counterparts. Hydro transmission towers, to street light poles, to Street Manhole covers, due to their strength and lightweight and durability.
Household fixtures:
Include items you have taken for granted without thinking, what they are made of. Include shower stalls, laundry tubs, hot tubs, ladders to fiber optic cables.
Environment:
In North America every local Gas Station was required by law to dig up their Steel Storage Gas Tanks and replace with Fiberglass, as the material least likely to corrode rot disintegrate and leak it's contents. For the same reason the storage of toxic chemicals is stored in a fiberglass container.
