Fiberglass is the unique material
used widely in industry for many purposes for many
years already. As the new technologies develop the
present day applications of Fiberglass are endless.
But special attention will be devoted to the Window
Industry Fiberglass. Due to technologies used fiberglass
window outperform all other window products,
setting new standards in the industry. Now window
fiberglass represents the leading trend in
window technology. The benefits of using fiberglass
windows surpass other window materials concerning
the strength, durability, low maintenance and resistance
to weathering, just to name a few. Fiberglass
windows can be characterized by the fact that
such windows are impervious to water, cold, heat,
insects, salt air and ultraviolet rays, as well as
the ability to design larger window units. Thus fiberglass
has all the advantages of competing systems with none
of their disadvantages. Fiberglass windows keep their
beauty in every season, in any climate for many years.
Fiberglass
windows, as against Vinyl windows are a paintable
and unlike wood windows are a maintenance free window.
Fiberglass wood grain doors set in fiberglass frames
will not warp, twist, or expand and contract like
convention wood or wood-clad windows. High-tech fiberglass
windows offer an exciting alternative to metal, plastic,
or wood frame windows. Fiberglass has proven to be
a superior material in the following ways: low thermal
conductivity, dimensionally stable tolerances, durability
and aesthetics, can be repainted and `environmental
friendliness?.
So, fiberglass is a paintable surface,
with no limitations to color choices. The paint acts
as a self-sealer, offering protection from moisture/pollutants
and providing ease of cleaning. Fiberglass has excellent
resistance to corrosion and rotting, and is also good
for seaside applications and other chemically sensitive
environments. Fiberglass is impervious to termites
and other pests, and has self-extinguishing capabilities
in case of fire, and unlike PVC, it does not emit
toxic fumes. Fiberglass frames provide consistent
quality during the production phase. Fiberglass` resistance
to heat and cold, as well as to moisture penetration,
ensures the longest life expectancy in comparison
with wood, vinyl, or aluminum, which decrease future
service and maintenance costs. Fiberglass windows
boast ease of installation, since windows remain square,
level and plumb; as well they provide smooth operation
- no stress on hardware mechanisms and guaranteed
prolonged life expectancy. There is no need in metal
reinforcement, which would diminish energy efficiency.
Weather-stripping provide positively around the entire
perimeter for air and water tightness.
