Wood? Vinyl? Composite? Aluminum? The material you select for your home’s new replacement windows is a critical choice. The smart move is to install fiberglass frame windows in your Houston TX home. Here’s why.

 

  1. Strength. Tests have proven fiberglass to be 8x stronger than vinyl and 3x stronger than wood or aluminum. This means more durability, almost no warping or expansion, and a longer service life.
  2. Energy efficiency. A fiberglass frames offers excellent insulation properties, helping to lower the window’s overall U-factor rating which measures the rate at which a window, door, or skylight conducts non-solar heat flow.
  3. Heat resistance. Fiberglass absorbs less heat than vinyl, which virtually eliminates warping and minimized expansion and contraction. That means a tighter seal against the window glass and between the window frame and your walls.
  4. Aesthetics. Fiberglass has a beautiful finish, with a modern, elegant look and more natural feel than vinyl.
  5. Size. Because fiberglass is a stronger and more rigid material, we can build our windows using thinner frames. This allows more glass area to allow a broader view and more natural light. For larger windows like picture, bay or bow windows, the extra strength of fiberglass is a much better alternative to vinyl.
  6. Color choices. Fiberglass offer you more color options, and the color is built in during the manufacturing process to minimize fading. Plus, you can always paint your frames and sashes at a later time if you so choose.
  7. Environment. Fiberglass is much more environmentally-friendly that other frame materials. Wood requires cutting down trees, aluminum is an ore obtained through mining, and vinyl is made from petroleum products. Our fiberglass frames and sashes are primarily composed of silica sand and recycled materials, with minimal impact on the environment.
