Clearer Choices
by Phil Warnell
There is a lot of talk these days in regards to high performance windows and door products, resultant of advances in the engineering and design of frame materials, hardware and glazing components. Despite all the talk there remains much confusion among many builders, architects and even more so the end users as to what all this brings to improving our homes and the spaces we work in. The purpose of this blog is to identify these advances and attempt to explain what they are and how they serve to improve the comfort, long term affordability and ease of maintenance for the places in which we live and work.
Over the coming months we will present articles written by people of our own team here at Inline Fiberglass, along with others in the window manufacturing and building industry aimed at increasing the knowledge base for others so involved and most importantly for those for whom which all this has been developed to serve and benefit. We plan to cover things such as what the available choice of materials is that constitute the making of windows and doors currently and what advantages they offer. These will include the traditional ones such as wood and aluminum, moving on to the thermoplastic variety and finally to the cutting edge, purpose engineered products such as our own fiberglass windows.
In addition we will discuss the technical terms which define the efficiencies and abilities of the products, along with the role these and the related standards play in aiding in their proper selection. Further, we will present articles written by others within this and related industries, explaining how such products are being used within the broader context in having our living spaces become more comfortable, cheaper to operate, durable and less stressful on our environment.
Finally, we look forward to and welcome the comments of our readers in relation to the articles presented, along with any suggestions you might have as to what in future you would like to see offered here. We encourage you to submit any questions you might have as it relates to the subjects presented or more specific ones regarding your own selection, application and/or installation.
