Composite materials have been used for thousands of years and new applications are identified each year. As one of the first modern composite materials, fiberglass is at the forefront of this innovation. The resiliency and durability of fiberglass are well-established in many diverse industries and for numerous manufacturing purposes. This course will familiarize you with the basic aspects of fiberglass composites, specifically pultruded fiberglass, and target their usefulness and environmental advantages in the window and door industry.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Discuss how composite materials provide predictable, sustainable, and superior performance characteristics over other materials
  • Explain the production of fiberglass composites and the advantages of the pultrusion process.
  • Identify the performance characteristics of windows and doors made from pultruded fiberglass and how it compares to other materials used in residential and commercial buildings.
  • Discuss finishes for pultruded fiberglass windows, how they meet AAMA quality standards, and how they impact the building design and energy efficiency.
