The frame profiles of fiberglass windows and doors are generally made through a pultrusion process combining with roving and matting, followed by resin injections, all while being pulled through a die to create a shape or profile.
Casement: Casement windows feature one sash that is hinged on one side and swings outward. They open and close with the turn of one easy-to-reach handle, which is located on the bottom of the window frame. Casement windows have plenty of configurations to make different windows from single, double or more panels.
Awning: Awning windows operate in exactly the same way as casement — with mechanical cranks that open and close them. Awning windows, though, open from the bottom when cranked, with the top edge fixed in place while the bottom pivots outward and up.
Sliding: A sliding window is a window that opens by sliding horizontally along a top and bottom track in the window frame. It is somewhat similar to a double-hung window, just turned on its side. Sliding windows are available in a few different configurations to choose from, based on what would be best for your home.
Tilt & Turn: A tilt and turn window can both tilt inwards at the top, or open inwards from hinges at the side. In the closed and locked position, it makes an excellent picture window to give the homeowner an unobstructed view of the world outside. In the second position, it can turn open from hinges on the side, like a door. In the third position, the window can tilt in from hinges on the bottom, to provide air flow into the room. Single Hung: Single hung windows' top sash does not operate, yet the operating sash on the bottom moves up and down.
Double Hung: Double hung windows are sometimes referred to as 'sash windows' which can be opened from either the top or the bottom, double hung windows feature two panels, both of which can slide up and down in the frame.
Fixed: Also called picture windows, they cannot be opened and are useful where you do not need an opening window, but would like light to enter a room.
Louver: Louvre windows are frequently employed in conditions where it is desirable to have good airflow, louvre windows consist of a series of slats (usually angled horizontally) and fastened between vertical structural pieces. Louvres are also used in doors.

Interior doors and windows
Fiberglass can be coated with various coatings to make doors and windows of different colors. Comply with various styles of decoration, FRP can be used for interior decoration of doors, windows, sliding doors, etc.
Balcony doors and windows
Fiberglass is an excellent corrosion-resistant material. It has good resistance to acids, alkalis, salts and most organic substances, seawater and humidity, and also has resistance to the action of microorganisms. It is especially suitable for application in rainy, humid and coastal areas, and in decorations with corrosive media it is often used as a material for enclosing balcony and greenhouse.
Outdoor architecture
Fiberglass is a good insulating material not affected by electromagnetic waves, it does not reflect radio waves and has good microwave transmission, FRP withstands high voltage weill without being damaged. Therefore, fiberglass doors and windows have special uses for temporary buildings in the field and buildings of communication systems.
In terms of weight
Due to the use of glass fiber and unsaturated resin materials, FRP is much lighter in quality than ordinary doors and windows. Ordinary doors and windows are mainly made of alloys, and the application of new materials is relatively small. The weight and hardness are slightly worse than those of fiberglass windows and doors, and some other characteristics are not as good as those of fiberglass windows and doors.
Identify by heat resistance
Fiberglass windows and doors are not easy to melt, basically no deformation occurs below 200 degrees. And the thermal conductivity of fiberglass windows and doors is not high, when judging according to the heat transfer rate, the heat transfer of other materials is relatively faster than that of FRP, espacially for those metal and alloy materials.
Judging by sound
For glass fiber reinforced plastic doors and windows, they have some differences in sound compared with aluminum alloy and other materials. The sound of fiberglass windows and doors is relatively crisp with a little echo, unlike the metal sound of alloy doors and windows.
The following methods can be used to deal with different stains on the surface of fiberglass window and door profiles.
1. The rust caused by the dirt on the surface of the FRP can be washed with 10% nitric acid or abrasive detergent, or it can be washed with special detergents.
2. If there is dust on the surface of the glass fiber reinforced plastic and dirt that is easy to remove, it can be washed with soap, weak detergent or warm water.
3. The trademark and film on the surface of FRP should be washed with warm water and weak detergent, and the adhesive component should be scrubbed with alcohol or organic solvent (ether, benzene).
4. The grease, oil and lubricating oil on the surface of the FRP should be cleaned with a soft cloth, and then cleaned with neutral detergent or ammonia solution or special detergent.
5. Bleach and various acids attached to the surface of the glass fiber reinforced plastic, rinse with water immediately, then soak with ammonia solution or neutral carbonated soda water solution, then wash with neutral detergent or warm water.
6. There is a rainbow pattern on the surface of FRP, which is caused by excessive use of detergent or oil. It can be washed off with warm water neutral detergent.
