Windows can be made out of many types of material such as wood, fiberglass, and vinyl. Each type of material boasts a different set of pros and cons. Out of the most in demand materials at the moment, fiberglass windows are having a moment all to itself for its versatile benefits. First and foremost, fiberglass has many applications outside of being used for window framing. They can be easily found on boats and planes. Their outstanding strength and durability make fiberglass a very attractive material for industrial use. Fiberglass windows have this distinct advantage over wood and vinyl. Even in extreme climates, whether it’s extreme heat or cold, this material does not expand or contract. The manufacturing process of weaving and knitting together glass fibers in a certain pattern ensures and allows the product to have maximum strength. Being made of glass fibers, fiberglass window frames are not only able to withstand harsh weathers, but are also stable and rigid enough to hold much larger window panes, which have gained much popularity recently because they let in tons of natural light and seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces. Besides from its sturdiness, another attribute of fiberglass windows is their low cost and labor maintenance. Compared to other materials, fiberglass windows don’t get as easily damaged or worn out, and have better resistance to denting, cracking, rusting, scratching, and general corroding. Therefore, they seldom require repaint jobs and enjoy a longer life span as windows, which can be a significant savings bonus for homeowners. Speaking of savings, fiberglass windows also offer amazing energy efficiency savings. With double or triple pane fiberglass windows, they act as insulators similar to how glass or wood absorb and hold heat, meaning they keep your home warm during winter and cool in the summer months. In addition to its proven quality, fiberglass windows are relatively affordable. Their aesthetic can mimic the appearance of wood, yet are not as nearly as pricey as wood, given choosing to work with wood gives decorators many more options in color variety. One drawback with fiberglass windows is that you can’t paint over them so if finding the exact interior design match is imperative, wood frames are probably a better bet. In comparison to vinyl, fiberglass windows are not as cheap in price point, but provide more choices and greater flexibility in craftsmanship than vinyl. The current trend is installing simple and sleek black fiberglass windows to achieve a modern yet classic look that is complementary to many different styles of homes.
