Future of Performance

Why Fiberglass?

Fiberglass is an optimal structural material for window and door frames, which is why Cascadia has relied on a proprietary, high glass-fiber-to-resin formulation for over a decade. In addition to its exceptional strength and thermal performance, Cascadia’s pultruded, thermoset fiberglass frames incorporate approximately 58% recycled content, emit low VOCs, and have significantly less embodied carbon than vinyl or aluminum alternatives.

  • Offers 100%–250% greater thermal performance than conventional aluminum windows, reducing HVAC energy demand
  • Manufactured from high glass-fiber-to-resin, thermoset fiberglass that resists sagging, warping, and creep over time
  • Performs reliably in extreme temperatures (−40°F to 350°F and beyond) without becoming brittle or soft
  • Comprised of non-organic, chemically inert pultruded fiberglass—resistant to corrosion, rot, UV degradation, and insect damage
  • Modeled lifespan of up to 80 years
