Windows and Doors handle corrosive seacoast environments.
May 14, 2003 - Pultruded-fiberglass Renaissance Series, with low-e glazing, provide better thermal performance than wood, vinyl, or aluminum, with no thermal break. Framing material expands at same rate as glass, protecting against condensation and stress from expansion and contraction. Fiberglass offers corrosion and wind-load resistance. Casement windows, fixed ribbon systems, terrace doors, and sliding glass doors are available.

Graham Renaissance Series Fiberglass Windows combine Structural and Thermal Advantages
San Diego, CA - The Graham Renaissance Series of pultruded fiberglass windows and doors offers a high-performance, durable alternative to aluminum and clad-wood windows, especially in corrosive seacoast environments. With today's rising thermal rating requirements, fiberglass usage will rise.
Pultruded fiberglass is an advanced framing material that expands at the same rate as glass, so that all components work together as a unit. This similarity of materials helps protect against stress from expansion and contraction - and provides superior condensation protection. When combined with high-performance low-e glazing, low-conductivity fiberglass provides better thermal performance than wood, vinyl, or aluminum - with no thermal break. Fiberglass sash and frame make
possible:
• Top thermal performance, structural strength, and corrosion resistance
• Superior wind load resistance
• No elevation restrictions (as with wood or vinyl)
• Design flexibility with custom sizes; choice of factory finishes
• Paintability - before installation and later
• Long life, even in challenging chemical or salt air environments
Graham offers the advantages of pultruded fiberglass in:
• Casement windows w/ 3-1/4" frame depth (Series GF 6800)
• Fixed ribbon system w/4" frame depth (Series GF-1600)
• Terrace door w/tilt-and-turn action and 2" frame (Series GF-7000)
• Sliding glass door with 5-3/4" frame depth (Series GF-0900)
