Fiberglass windows differ from traditional windows in that the exterior is framed with fiberglass as opposed to wood while the interior generally uses either real wood or a wood veneer for that classic, homey look and feel. Manufacturers create fiberglass by combining glass fibers and resin—and not all fiberglass is the same. Fiberglass formulas are complex, often proprietary, and typically adjusted based on the application.
A great advantage of fiberglass windows, particularly when replacing many or all of a home’s windows, is cost. While fiberglass does tend to be a bit more expensive than vinyl, it’s typically less expensive than wood, clad, and composite windows.
A fiberglass window outperforms a wood window and performs similarly to an aluminum-clad wood window at a much lower cost. Fiberglass is similar to vinyl in that it will never rot and requires little to no maintenance, but it is also notably stronger and provides better impact resistance. Fiberglass windows are environmentally friendly, enhance property value, and dampen outside noises.
Fiberglass windows offer an exceptional combination of strength, energy efficiency, low maintenance, and environmental responsibility—all at a competitive price point.
Fiberglass windows are made primarily from sand, an abundant and easily recycled resource, and energy consumption during manufacturing is relatively low.
Age is the most important factor—your goal should be to replace existing windows as they reach the end of their expected lifespan and before you deal with issues like reduced energy efficiency. Watch for air leaks, as those not only diminish comfort in the home but can cost you big in heating and cooling.
Replace the weatherstripping, and if that upgrade doesn’t eliminate the draft, replace the window. Energy also recommends replacing windows that are difficult to open and close or that are no longer secure, and you should replace windows with any non-superficial damage to either the frame or glass.
Fiberglass is similar to vinyl in that it will never rot and requires little to no maintenance. However, fiberglass is notably stronger, provides better impact resistance, and outperforms wood windows thermally. Fiberglass tends to be slightly more expensive than vinyl but less expensive than wood, clad, or composite options.
