Still looking for someone with Fiberglass window experience. I don’t want Vinyl and I hear that the fiberglass is good but I have no experience with using them. I am new to your site and would like to say hello. I have been getting FHB since the first issue. I have been reading your reply’s and you all have a good sense of humor and offer good information. My use for windows by the way is replacement in an unheated porch. Thank you.

Liam, cool your jets son. Don't get impatient.
Welcome to BT.
I have installed two sets of fibreglass windows, several single windows in bath/shower locations. All came from Comfortline. Style was either casement or slide by. More rigid than vinyl. Also more expensive at the time. All were insulated glass. The porch areas were turned into 3-4 season rooms with insulation and vented gas heat. Others we used vinyl slide bys, and the customer was very happy. Frames are a little more flimsy and care should be taken with larger openings. I am familiar with no other brands of fibreglass windows.
best of luck.
