Fiberglass is valued for its longevity and ability to conserve energy even in extreme climate conditions. It resists the transfer of heat and cold, so heat is kept to the outside in the summertime, inside in the wintertime -- keeping heating and cooling bills low.

The virtually indestructible nature and low maintenance attributes of fiberglass make it a premier material for windows today. Less energy is required to manufacture fiberglass than other window and door material, and little waste is produced during the manufacturing process. In fact, a fiberglass window will last for about 40 years (vinyl's typical life expectancy is about 15 years).

In regards to thermal expansion and contraction, fiberglass moves very little in temperature extremes -- in fact 800 times less than vinyl. This means there is less probability of stress cracks and seal failures. Another important attribute about fiberglass? If you live on a coastline or an abusive weather environment, it doesn't corrode over time -- even if the structure is scratched. Click here to learn more. Weather Shield® carries EnduraShield™ fiberglass windows and doors in a variety of factory finishes from obsidian black to painters white and every color in between.

Durable and low maintenance, aluminum windows have been a staple in the window industry for decades. Weather Shield produces an extruded aluminum window, which is significantly stronger than a roll-clad aluminum window that can dent or ding easily.

In addition, aluminum windows come in a myriad of colors. Weather Shield® offers custom colors for unlimited design options. Because of its strength and bending capabilities, -- it lends itself easily to architectural applications especially with our wide array of options and accessories.

Vinyl windows are energy and cost-efficient, as well as very low maintenance for homeowners to consider when replacing windows. Vinyl doesn't ever need to be painted, and any nicks or scratches that may occur over time remain far less visible because the color is consistent throughout the extrusion.
