What fiberglass frames give you
ENERGY STAR says fiberglass frames are strong, durable, low maintenance, and provide good insulation. It says the frames can be hollow or filled with foam insulation. We fit fiberglass for owners who want a slim, strong frame that can be painted, without the upkeep of wood.
Fiberglass, vinyl or wood?
We fit all three, in ENERGY STAR certified models.
- ENERGY STAR says vinyl frames are low maintenance and provide good thermal insulation.
- It says wood frames are strong, provide good insulation, and are generally favored in historical neighborhoods.
- ENERGY STAR's buying guide groups vinyl and fiberglass together as lower maintenance than traditional wood.
We'll put the three side by side on your quote, with the price and glass ratings for each, so you can compare.
Glass for Carrollton's sun
Your quote from us lists two numbers for every window.
The first rating, the U-factor, tells you how fast heat passes through a window. The lower the U-factor, the less heat gets through, so you want it low.
The solar heat gain coefficient, or SHGC, is a rating for how much of the sun's heat gets through the glass. The lower the number, the less heat comes in. For homes in the South, ENERGY STAR says to look for an SHGC of 0.23 or less. It also says a low SHGC is important on windows that face south, east and west in warmer climates.
What fiberglass windows cost
We use ENERGY STAR's double-hung price as a rough guide for fiberglass windows.
| Double-hung window, 3 ft. by 5 ft., installed | Price per window (ENERGY STAR) |
|---|---|
| Simple and energy-efficient | From about $400 |
| Same window with premium options | About $1,600 or more |
ENERGY STAR lists the premium options as specialty wood finishes, historically accurate designs, laminated glass for impact resistance and extra-strength frames.
We price fiberglass windows for your house once we've measured, and you get that quote in writing.
What to get in writing
Ask for these in writing, whoever you hire:
- The exact U-factor and SHGC of each window, written into the contract.
- A line saying the windows are ENERGY STAR certified for where you live.
- The product warranty and the installation warranty. ENERGY STAR says a decent product warranty should be at least 10 years, and preferably 20 years or lifetime. It says installation warranties are typically less than 5 years.
Questions about fiberglass windows in Carrollton
Can you paint fiberglass windows?
Yes, we can fit fiberglass frames that you can paint later, or ones that come finished in the color you pick.
Which window styles come in fiberglass?
We fit fiberglass in double-hung, casement, sliding and picture styles.
Will fiberglass windows lower my energy bill?
ENERGY STAR says upgrading to ENERGY STAR certified windows lowers household energy bills by an average of 12%.
Is it cheaper to replace several windows at once?
ENERGY STAR says that to get the best price per window, it helps to plan to buy at least 10 windows to reduce installation costs. If you only need one, we'll still fit it.
Do I need a permit to replace windows with fiberglass in Carrollton?
Not if the new windows are the same size as the old ones. The City of Carrollton says a permit is needed if the size of the opening changes. We tell you before we start if your job changes any opening.
