Choosing poor-quality vinyl windows or patio doors is a mistake. Our Fibrex® material is
2X STRONGER
Choosing the proper window and door material is everything.
THAN VINYL
Even in normal temperatures, vinyl windows can warp, lose whatever energy efficiency they once had, and invite drafts and leaks. Significant home improvements are supposed to last, but can you imagine the expense and frustration of replacing your windows a second time, after just a couple of years? We custom-build our windows from our own material called Fibrex®. And our Fibrex® material is twice as strong as vinyl.
