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.
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.
The fiberglass exterior sash and frame make our windows one of the most durable and energy efficient windows manufactured today. The fiberglass is scratch and dent resistant and won't warp or become brittle in extreme climates. And because it does not rot or corrode, it is an ideal solution for coastal applications.
EasyCare glass is an additional, invisible, permanent
coating of Titanium Dioxide that reacts chemically with the sun's UV rays, causing organic materials that are on the glass to decompose. When it rains, the decomposed dirt washes away, the water spreads out and evaporates quickly for fewer spots and easier cleaning.
Exteriors feature low-maintenance, heavy-duty mat and roving fiberglass cladding that is structurally superior to metal or vinyl materials found on many other brands of windows. Corners are completely sealed with a corner key and adhesive for increased strength and stability.
Our unique Real Warm Edge Flexible Spacer between the panes of glass insulates the edge of the glass better to help improve thermal performance and reduce condensation.
The heavy-duty fiberglass exterior frame features a rigid integral nailing fin for greater structural integrity and easier installation.
A superior weather strip design on casement units features a full-length, foam-filled, bulb-type weather stripping around the frame perimeter with no corner joints, providing greater protection against air and water infiltration. An additional woven pile weather stripping surrounds the sash.
