Fiberglass is an ideal structural material for window and door frames, which is why Cascadia has used a proprietary, high glass-fiber-to-resin formula for more than a decade. Beyond its high strength and thermal efficiency, Cascadia's pultruded, thermoset fiberglass frames contains roughly 58% recycled content, low VOC's and represents less embodied carbon compared to vinyl or aluminum.
