Pultruded Fiberglass Windows

Window frames offer many important benefits for buildings, especially when it comes to energy and environmental performance, and frame material selection is a critical aspect of the design process. This course discusses pultruded fiberglass window systems and compares them with traditional wood, aluminum, and PVC window systems across a wide variety of performance attributes.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Explain the fiberglass pultrusion process and the properties of pultruded fiberglass that make it an ideal product for the fenestration industry.
  • Compare and evaluate the performance characteristics—thermal expansion and conductivity, and material strength and longevity—of fiberglass, wood, aluminum, and PVC window systems, and determine their impact on the design goals of a project and the environment.
  • Compare fiberglass window systems to wood, aluminum, and PVC window systems in terms of their green characteristics, including embodied energy, energy efficiency, toxicity, and indoor and outdoor environmental issues.
  • Describe the AAMA performance standards, the National Fenestration Council's procedures and ratings, and the ENERGY STAR® program, and use these standards and ratings to specify product type based on performance level and key performance attributes.

Approximately 2 hours. Delivered online, at your own pace.
