Both are strong, durable and energy efficient requiring less maintenance. But the deciding factor is the cost. Fiber glass windows are more stylish and can cost 10 to 30 % more than vinyl. Fiber glass offers a wide range of colors and can also be painted. Vinyl has few color options and need not be painted. Vinyl windows are easier to install too.If you are replacing windows more for energy efficiency, vinyl is a better and cheaper option. Professionals like Champion Window manufacture Energy Star rated foam enhanced vinyl windows providing excellent insulation. Various styles to suit your home are available and if your window is of an odd size, they will custom manufacture it for you.

Fiberglass windows will not have welded frames or sashes. They are constructed the old-school way, screwed and glued at the corners. Vinyl windows have a welded frame and sash.
