This course will familiarize you with the basic aspects of fiberglass composites, with a specific emphasis on pultruded fiberglass. By examining the performance characteristics, durability and numerous environmental advantages of pultruded fiberglass, this course will outline the advantages of windows and doors made from pultruded fiberglass and use case studies to demonstrate applications across a wide variety of multi-family and commercial build environments. We will discuss how composite materials provide predictable, sustainable and superior performance characteristics over other materials. Marvin will explain the production of fiberglass composites and the advantages of the pultrusion process from a manufacturing and environmental perspective. Marvin will identify the performance characteristics of windows and doors made from pultruded fiberglass and how they help meet the latest design trends.
