Fiberglass is stronger than vinyl, more dimensionally stable than wood, and requires less maintenance than either. For NJ homeowners who want the best long-term window performance, fiberglass is the clear choice.
Fiberglass frames expand and contract at nearly the same rate as the glass they hold — about 8 times less than vinyl. This preserves the seal integrity and prevents drafts that develop as vinyl and wood frames warp over time.
Pultruded fiberglass is stronger than vinyl, wood, or aluminum. Slimmer frames are possible while maintaining structural integrity — maximizing glass area and the amount of natural light entering your home.
Unlike vinyl, fiberglass windows can be painted with any exterior paint color. This allows you to match your exact trim color now and repaint in the future if you change your home's exterior palette.
Vinyl windows are the most affordable option but expand and contract significantly with temperature changes. Wood windows offer classic beauty but require ongoing maintenance and are susceptible to rot. Fiberglass combines the best of both — the stability of glass, the low maintenance of vinyl, and the paintability of wood — without the drawbacks of either.
