Fibrex Fortress: Windows with a Superior Frame


Fibrex might sound like fanciful fluff to many a skeptic, yet the product has some very real benefits. Homeowners suffering from old and worn windows might want to consider making the switch to Fibrex before it’s too late. Fortunately, there are many local retailers who offer such superior windows.

Fibrex is actually a combination of wood and a plastic polymer, giving it the properties of both vinyl and wooden frames. Like vinyl, Fibrex doesn’t need to be painted (as the vinyl looks simply marvelous even without coating), and requires little to no maintenance. Additionally, Fibrex has the superior insulating properties of wooden frames without the shrinking and warping risks associated with wood.

Such features are especially useful for the chilly winter season, wherein the cold can easily slip through or permeate warped windows; old wooden frames won’t fare well against the bitter cold and could, in fact, lower a household's heating capabilities, thus warranting replacement. Fibrex windows will serve homeowners well for a very long time, though they will have to be installed professionally for best results. It would be best to leave the installation to a certified contractor, so homeowners like you should look for certification before hiring a contractor.
