Our fiberglass exteriors are
made using advanced
pultrusion technology which
allows continuous lengths of
fibrous glass that are saturated
with special resin compounds
to be
pulled through a heated
steel-forming die. This process
creates such a remarkably
strong and durable material
that only specially-made
diamond encrusted cutters can
be used to slice through it.
Weather Shield's unique finishing process bonds a thick acrylic finish onto the cladding's virtually indestructible surface for rich, vibrant color that resists scratches, marring and dings.
Fiberglass-Clad Wood Windows Key Features:
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.

An airspace provides insulating
power from summer heat
and winter cold. Along with
Low E2 coatings, adding safe,
colorless argon gas to the
airspace increases the window
unit’s energy efficiency.
