Fiberglass Windows

Hey everyone from wamsuttawindowservice.com

I want share with you some information about fiberglass windows as an alternative to vinyl....
These are some excerpts taken from Comfortline's website:

"FIBERFRAME Windows and Doors are built with the one material that is stable over time, even in harsh environments — pultruded fiberglass. Fiberglass outperforms steel, aluminum, wood and vinyl.
Glass has the lowest expansion and contraction rate of any fenestration material. When glass is supported by glass, the entire window or door unit benefits from the stability of fiberglass."

The major problem with vinyl residential windows is their lifespan. Replacing windows in your whole house is not cheap. Vinyl windows are usually the cheapest but they begin to fail after some time. The vinyl frame contracts and expands at a much different rate than the glass its holding, causing the frame to pull away from the glass. The window frames start to bow and let water in around the glass causing it to fail and become foggy. The windows may warp and twist and no longer stay up or become hard to open. Fiberglass frames expand and contract at much closer rates to the insulated glass its holding. So much so that Comfortline guarantees their product for life! Not to mention you can get them in almost any color, including a wood grain finish, or paint them yourself. Check them out at http://fiberframe.com
