All You Need to Know About Fiberglass Windows

Vinyl and wood have always been the most popular choice for windows, but fiberglass has become increasingly popular for those in need of window replacement. This specific type of window actually upgrades your entire house and increases the resale value. Fiberglass windows are also maintenance free and are completely customizable.

The finish on the fiberglass windows fade because of the gel-coat finish which is a mixture of polyester and resins. Fiber glass is 8 times stronger than vinyl and 3 times as tough as wood. The framing material keeps the fiberglass functioning and maintenance free. It also does not expand or contract like wood and vinyl.

Because other materials contract and expand, they needed to be welded but fiberglass allows for a better solution to stay insulated in the winter. Over time, these windows will pay for themselves because they rarely need to undergo any type of maintenance.
