Pultruded Fiberglass Windows and Doors

Join the AIA Atlanta Custom Residential Architects Network (CRAN®) at Ruth’s Chris Steak House for lunch and a presentation of “Meeting Design and Performance Requirements with Pultruded Fiberglass Windows and Doors” by Marvin.

This course examines the performance characteristics, durability, and numerous environmental advantages of pultruded fiberglass. It outlines the benefits of windows and doors made from this material and uses case studies to demonstrate applications across a wide variety of building environments.

Learning objectives

• Discuss how composite materials provide predictable, sustainable and superior performance characteristics over other materials.
• Explain the production of fiberglass composites and the advantages of the pultrusion process from a manufacturing and environmental perspective.
• Identify the performance characteristics of windows and doors made from pultruded fiberglass and how they meet the latest design trends.
• Discuss finishes for pultruded fiberglass windows, how they meet AAMA quality standards, and how they impact the building design and energy efficiency.
• Explore case studies of pultruded fiberglass windows and doors in various projects for performance, resiliency and sustainability.
