Fibertec 500 Premium Side Slider Windows: WoodClad Fiber® Series

The lack of long-term performance inherent in traditional window materials, such as wood, vinyl and aluminum, can result in problems with warping, rotting, cracking and shrinkage. Using materials found in other industries, Fibertec Window Manufacturing Limited pioneered the Fibertec Fiberglass Window System featuring advanced technology. As a result, our research group has developed the world`s best energy-rated window system. Fibertec has changed the way windows are made today. These fiberglass window and door systems out perform all other window products, setting new standards in the industry.

Our WoodClad window series offers the best of both worlds – the carefree and durability aspect of a fiberglass window frame, plus the beauty of a real stainable oak wood interior. We recommend that the wood be treated immediately after installation in order to maintain its beauty.
