WHY BUILD WITH FIBERGLASS?
Superior Strength
- Fiberglasss is eight times stronger than vinyl
- Six times stronger than wood plastic composites
- The superior strength of fiberglass creates more rigid door frames that are easier to install
- FIBERGLASS 100%
- WPC 40%
- VINYL 20%
Material Strength
Energy Efficiency
- 500x lower thermal conductivity than aluminum, so it doesn’t allow heat or cold from the outside into your home
- Fiberglass users 78% less embodied energy than aluminum and 39% less than vinyl to manufacture
- FIBERGLASS 15%
- VINYL 40%
- ALUMINUM 100%
Thermal Conductivity
Expansion & Contaction
- 10x more stability than vinyl in temperature changes
- Nearly identical expansion and contraction rates as plate glass, which means tighter seal against the weather and longer lasting
- FIBERGLASS 10%
- PLATE GLASS 15%
- VINYL 100%
