Key Considerations: Essential Factors to Keep in Mind

Fiberglass is preferred for its exceptional durability and versatility in various applications. Unlike traditional materials like wood or vinyl, fiberglass offers several advantages:


1. Durability: Fiberglass is incredibly strong and resistant to warping, rotting, and swelling, making it ideal for withstanding harsh weather conditions and ensuring longevity.


2. Low Maintenance: It requires minimal upkeep compared to wood, as it does not need painting or sealing. It maintains its appearance over time with simple cleaning.


3. Energy Efficiency: Fiberglass windows and doors provide excellent thermal insulation, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs by keeping indoor temperatures stable.


4. Aesthetic Appeal: Available in a wide range of finishes and styles, fiberglass can mimic the look of wood while offering better performance, making it suitable for both traditional and modern architectural designs.


5. Environmental Friendliness: Fiberglass is often made from recycled materials and is itself recyclable, contributing to sustainability efforts in construction and renovation projects.


6. Sound Insulation: It effectively reduces outside noise, creating a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment.


Overall, fiberglass stands out as a superior choice for those seeking durable, low-maintenance, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing windows and doors for their homes or buildings.

What is Fiberglass?

Pultruded fiberglass is an engineered material that is created through a process where strands of glass and glass matting are pulled through a heated die. The glass is bonded together with a matrix of “heat setting” resins as it passes through the die at extremely high temperatures. The resulting lineals (customized to specific window component requirements) are cut to length.


Pultruded fiberglass lineals have a finish topcoat applied "in-line" during the pultrusion process or "off-line" at a later stage to suit the color/finish required.
