Ultrex Fiberglass:
Quite Possibly the Perfect Building Material
Fiberglass windows are eight times stronger than vinyl and three times stronger than wood/vinyl composites. So when a house settles over time, fiberglass windows resist sagging and warping—proving that they’re truly built to last.
If it’s style that’s important to you, fiberglass windows offer plenty of finishes, hardware, and cladding options that are sure to fit your unique design. Our expert consultants can show you your options and help you decide which fiberglass windows will be best for your replacement window or new construction project.
THE DIFFERENCE FIBERGLASS WINDOWS CAN MAKE
Ultrex is the first and only fiberglass finish to be third party verified to AAMA’s 624-10 finish specifications. The patented Ultrex finish performs so well that, unlike vinyl, we offer it in dark colors, like Ebony, without fear of increased heat loads, UV degradation or fading.
Compared to single pane unglazed windows, dual pane windows made from Ultrex with Low E coating can reduce window heat loss and cut costs by up to 34% in cold climates, and cut cooling costs by up to 38% in warm climates.*
