Made from Duracast, a five-layer fiberglass material, Impervia windows resist extreme heat and cold, corrosion, moisture, scratching, denting, and impact. 'They perform the same whether it's 90 below freezing or 90 degrees,' Mildenberger says. Fiberglass manufacturers claim the products will maintain their rigidity even in extreme temperature changes, while vinyl can lose its form under extreme heat.

Both their durability and their close resemblance to wood make them an attractive higher-end alternative to vinyl and a comparable one to wood windows.Fiberglass resists rotting, warping, and cracking, and manufacturers say that it provides a maintenance-free product that is more energy efficient than aluminum and stronger than vinyl.Less than a handful of manufacturers currently offer fiberglass windows, including Milgard Windows, Pella, and Marvin Windows. Though vinyl windows dominate the replacement, remodel, and new construction markets, fiberglass windows have carved out a niche for themselves.
