MATERIALS MATTER

Evaluating window material options

The best products are made from the best materials. Let’s take a look at common materials for replacement windows and doors.

Infinity’s Ultrex fiberglass

Our Ultrex® fiberglass is an innovative material pioneered over 20 years ago, making it one of the first premium composites on the market. Ultrex fiberglass replacement windows and doors continue to deliver strength, stability and durability. Our proprietary acrylic finish is three times thicker than the competition.

Other fiberglass

The strength and durability of fiberglass make it a good option for replacement windows and doors. Not all fiberglass materials are the same — and finishes can vary across manufacturers.

Vinyl

While vinyl is frequently the cheapest option, vinyl windows and doors can warp, shift and crack under everyday conditions.

Wood

Wood windows offer more strength, stability and beauty than vinyl, but they tend to require more maintenance than other window materials.

Vinyl/wood composites

Vinyl/wood composites like Fibrex® are made from vinyl infused with wood fibers (sawdust). Fibrex isn’t fiberglass.

Fibrex is a registered trademark of Andersen Corporation.

What are the best replacement windows for my home?

The best windows are made from the best materials. Replacement windows are typically made out of three materials. Vinyl is often the least expensive option. But it can warp, shift and crack under everyday conditions. Wood is stronger than vinyl but it can require maintenance and refinishing. Fiberglass is a strong, durable material that outlasts vinyl with less maintenance than wood. Perfect for window design and performance.

Fiberglass resists expanding, contracting and decay for long-lasting performance. Not all fiberglass material is good enough for your home. That’s why we created Ultrex, a superior fiberglass material used by Infinity from Marvin. Replacing your windows is a decision you only want to make once. The strength, finish and durability of Infinity’s Ultrex fiberglass will maximize your investment.
