The Benefits of Fiberglass Windows for Minnesota Homes

There are plenty of window options on the market today that homeowners here in the Minneapolis area can choose from.  Some would say that there are too many options.

In fact, if you look at the list of replacement window manufacturers we offer, you might think the same thing.  Yes, we have an extensive list to choose from.

What that means, is that you have to be very selective when it comes to choosing what windows to have installed. Choosing quality windows means picking a good manufacturer and deciding on a high quality window material to go with.

May we suggest you start your considerations with fiberglass windows?  We offer these durable and beautiful window options from two companies – Marvin Windows and Beechworth.  

While vinyl windows are affordable, and wood windows look nice, neither one offers all the benefits that fiberglass windows can provide. Find out more from our Minneapolis replacement window company.

Fiberglass Windows Are Naturally Attractive

Fiberglass is an excellent material to use for window construction, because it’s durable and it can be crafted very thin and still provide a good strong product. The windows can be colored a variety of different hues effectively, and the frames have a very narrow profile that helps maximize the total light allowed into your home during use. These windows are available in a variety of colors, and some can even be painted a custom color.

Fiberglass Windows Are Durable

Fiberglass is very hardy- it’s ideally suited for window construction.  And with the extreme temperatures as well as all the precipitation we get here in Minnesota, it’s one of the best options for our climate. Not only does it function as an insulator but also it is resistant to UV radiation, as well as scratching and denting. It really stands up well to hail, which is definitely something Minneapolis homeowners are interested in.  It doesn’t suffer from corrosion and doesn’t require frequent repainting or staining.

Fiberglass Is Better for the Environment

Vinyl windows rely on harmful plastics and release VOCs into the environment during production. That’s not the case with fiberglass windows.

Instead, they are made from natural silica sand- the same material that’s used to make the very glass used in the windows, and the material is completely recyclable. That means once these windows have lived out their useful life on your home (or you decide to make a change), they can be recycled and made into another fiberglass product instead.

There are reasons as well – ask our Minneapolis replacement window company why fiberglass is a better choice for windows.

Fiberglass Windows Are the Top Option

Though considerably more expensive than vinyl and similar low-quality options, fiberglass is one of the best window options available on the market today. It’s durable, it looks beautiful and it’s designed to hold up over time. It has more to offer as a window material than most other options on the market today, which is exactly why you should consider it for use in your own home.
