Are fiberglass windows a dangerous health hazard?
Probably not, however, the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has studied fiberglass and has labeled it one of 18 “Priority Safety and Health Hazards.” OSHA also notes that fiberglass dust can cause breathing difficulties. Additional information can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) web site by researching fiberglass. While health hazards associated with fiberglass windows are not very likely, you want to make sure that your replacement window contractor is properly trained and takes the necessary precautions required to keep you and your family safe.
