The Fiberglass Story
Fiberglass is used in many industry applications where strength and stability is required. Most common fiberglass applications include recreational boats, automotive products, performance products and, in coastal areas, as a replacement for structural steel. Fiberglass can be subjected to the most extreme weather conditions, in hot, cold or acidic environments and stand the test of time.
Fiberglass windows are manufactured using a pultrusion process where glass fibers are coated with resin and pulled through a hot die the shape of the frame or sash profile. The heat cures the fiberglass resin to form a permanent shape, which cannot be reformed by any environmental conditions. And, because of its strength, pultruded fiberglass window frames can be narrower providing more window viewing area without sacrificing window strength.
Pultruded fiberglass is moisture resistant, chemically inert and will not corrode in coastal applications.
