Why Fiberglass Windows?

Durable

One of the most significant advantages to using fiberglass windows in your home is their durability. Unlike vinyl windows, they do not warp when exposed to temperature extremes. Fiberglass windows are also better able to resist deterioration due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun. They are not prone to corrosion either and are more moisture-resistant than vinyl windows as well.

Fiberglass window frames are constructed with hollow cores that can be filled with insulating materials. Because of this insulation, they can help trap heat during the winter and prevent it from entering your home in the summer so it is easier to regulate the interior temperature. As a result, you may be able to cut back on your heating and cooling bills since you will need to use the systems less frequently.

Fiberglass is an extremely strong material so window frames made from it are sturdy as well. In fact, they usually have greater structural strength than vinyl or wood windows. You can use heavier glass panes in fiberglass windows as a result, which can help reduce exterior noise and the risk of breakage.

Fiberglass window frames offer a wide range of color options so they can be customized to match your interior. They are paintable, which allows you to cover them in any color under the sun or have a custom color mixed especially for your home. However, painted frames typically require additional maintenance measures to preserve their appearance. A low-maintenance alternative is to have a color mixed in to the fiberglass during the molding process. Pre-colored fiberglass frames are usually more expensive, but they may be worth it if you do not have time for upkeep.

Because fiberglass window are so durable, they require very little maintenance. When they become dirty, you can wipe them clean with a glass cleaner or mild soap and water on a soft cloth. Abrasive cleansers should be avoided, however, because they can cause discolorations, fading and other damage to the fiberglass.
