Window Materials

Fiberglass Windows

Fiberglass expands and contracts with heat at nearly the same rate as glass, so the seals stay tight and the frames stay straight through decades of East Bay summers. It’s the material we reach for when windows are big, dark-colored or facing hard afternoon sun.

What It Is

Glass Fibers Locked in Resin

Fiberglass frames are made by pulling glass fibers through resin, a process called pultrusion. The result is very strong and very stable, which lets manufacturers make slimmer frames that hold more glass.

Because the frame moves with temperature almost exactly like the glass it holds, the seal between them stays tight. Fiberglass also takes paint and dark finishes without the warping risk of vinyl.

Common Questions

Fiberglass Window FAQ

Straight answers from the people who install them.

When windows are large, dark or facing hard sun, often yes. For a typical stucco home with white windows, good vinyl is usually the better value, and we’ll say so.
Yes, fiberglass can be painted, and many lines come in factory finishes that hold color well in the sun.
Yes. Milgard’s C700 fiberglass series is made for both new construction and remodeling, so it can fit existing openings and the stucco stays intact.
Fiberglass is one of the most durable frame materials. It doesn’t rot, rust or warp, so the frames typically outlast the glass seals.
