While fiberglass windows are not the cheapest option on the market, it’s still important to note that these windows have a reputation for being tried and tested. That said, this type of window has been a popular choice among homeowners and building professionals.
In this post, PJ Sullivan Exteriors — one of the best window and door replacement companies — discusses the advantages that make fiberglass windows worth your hard-earned money.
Fiberglass has good resistance against moisture, so you won’t have to worry about problems like mold, rot, corrosion and shrinking and swelling.
Fiberglass is generally unaffected by temperature changes. The heat or cold won’t make the material sag, flex or change dimension. This reduces the occurrence of leaks, which means less chances for moisture to damage your windows. Furthermore, fiberglass windows can last for several years, with warranties ranging from 10 years up to a lifetime. If your fiberglass windows are made with insulating glass, these typically come with a 20-year warranty against seal failure.
Many window replacement companies recommend fiberglass windows because of their design, which is characterized by less frame and more glass. Of course, with narrower and less bulky window frames and sashes, you can have a view that’s less unobstructed. Don’t worry because having slimmer frames won’t compromise the ability of these windows to resist high winds.
Fiberglass windows are practically maintenance-free. Barring any damage caused by extreme weather, they will do just fine with regular cleaning and a once-a-decade weatherstripping replacement.
