Strong, stable fiberglass frames that resist expansion, take paint well and suit sun, heat and big windows.
Fiberglass frames are strong and stable. They expand and contract very little with temperature, so they keep their shape and their seals through hot summers and cold snaps. They can be painted, and they allow slim sightlines and large sizes. Homeowners in Nashville choose fiberglass for homes with big windows, strong sun or a desire for a long-lasting frame that holds a darker color well.
We discuss how fiberglass compares with vinyl and wood: it costs more than most vinyl, needs less upkeep than wood and handles heat very well. We show frame samples, finishes and colors and explain how factory finishes and field painting differ. We measure each opening, order the windows and install them with careful flashing and sealing. We also advise on grids and glass, so the finished window looks right and performs well.
