Top 4 Myths About Fiberglass Windows

Fiberglass windows are the least popular option for replacement windows. There are some misconceptions that may hinder some homeowners from even considering fiberglass windows. As one of the leading window replacement companies in the Tri-State area, PJ Sullivan Exteriors clears up four of the myths surrounding fiberglass windows to help you make an informed decision. 

  • Fiberglass Is Very Brittle- One misconception about fiberglass material is that it is very brittle and thus prone to cracks and chips. On the contrary, fiberglass windows are more impact-resistant than your other window replacement options. It is said to be eight times stronger than the more popular vinyl windows. 
  • Fiberglass Windows Need to Be Painted- Fiberglass windows are powder-coated. Trusted window and door replacement companies say this finish is durable and maintenance-free so there is no need for painting. They are also UV-resistant so colors will not fade. However, if you do decide to switch up the colors in your home, it is possible to paint them over unlike with vinyl windows.
  • Fiberglass Windows Do Not Have a Proven Track Record- Some people may think that fiberglass windows are new to the market and therefore there is little way of knowing whether the claims about it are true. However, patents for fiberglass windows have existed since 1946. Various fiberglass windows and door products have been around for roughly two decades. 
  • Fiberglass Windows Are More Expensive- The upfront costs of fiberglass windows are indeed higher compared to vinyl windows. But you can save more money in the long run because they will last longer.

Fiberglass will expand and contract at the same rate as the glass on your windows. For this reason, the window seals in fiberglass windows will remain tight. When you take the low conductivity of fiberglass materials, you’ll realize fiberglass windows are energy-efficient and can help you save on your energy bills.
