Ive never heard of fibreglass framed windows. Do they cost more than vinyl and if so, why should I consider purchasing them?
It is true that fibreglass windows may cost more than low-end windows. For example: On an average sized sliding window (3′ x 4′ or 12 sq. ft.) with high efficiency glass, a typical lower end vinyl framed window would run about $550. + gst supplied and installed; whereas our Infinity Ultrex fibreglass framed window would run about $850. + gst supplied and installed (about the same or less than a higher end vinyl window). The cost difference, as with all things, relates to the quality of window (strength, durability, stability, efficiency of the frame), not the labour.
