4. Energy Efficiency. Because of its insulation property, Fibrex windows are energy-efficient. You can maintain the comfortable temperature inside your home without pushing your energy bills through the roof.
5. Aesthetic Appeal. Because Fibrex is a wood/polymer composite, it is much more flexible in terms of style, shape, and finish whereas aluminum usually has sharp corners in their frame, due to the metal being bent in 90° angles.
