Fiberglass Window Installation & Replacement

Install extremely durable fiberglass windows on your home today

Due to advancements in the industry, fiberglass is now able to be used in the design of window frames. Before, windows were mostly wood or vinyl. While those materials have their place, they do not stand up to fiberglass in durability. Fiberglass windows can last decades longer than their predecessors, making it easy to see why many homeowners are having these windows installed in their homes.

Are fiberglass windows better than wood and vinyl?

Wood is an organic building material, making it fall victim to rot and fungus. To try to prevent this, homeowners will have to maintain the wood with painting, staining, and other treatments. Even when doing this, wooden window frames will eventually need to be replaced. Fiberglass windows don’t rot, don’t support fungal growth, and don’t absorb water or warp under extreme temperatures. Fiberglass windows far outperform wooden windows in this respect. Even if you love the look of wooden windows, there are fiberglass frames that can imitate the look of wood.

Vinyl windows are also non-organic and won’t absorb water. The difference between vinyl windows and fiberglass windows though is that fiberglass itself is stronger. As its name suggests, fiberglass has fibers of glass reinforcing its structure. This makes fiberglass several times more durable than vinyl. While the good quality vinyl windows can last a few decades, fiberglass regularly lasts around 50 years.
