How our 100 Series windows are made: A factory tour with the Modern Craftsman
If seeing is believing, then you’ve already witnessed the way our patented Fibrex® material is combined with a design that’s precision manufactured to ensure quality for the long-term. Let’s review the benefits of 100 Series windows that Tyler Grace and Nick Schiffer of the Modern Craftsman podcast uncovered in their tour of our Goodyear, Arizona manufacturing facility.
Strength that you can count on
The reason we call Fibrex material the smart alternative to vinyl is because it's comparable in price, but that’s where the comparison ends. Understanding how Fibrex material is made gives insight into all the ways it surpasses vinyl. Strength is created through an extrusion process combining wood fiber and thermoplastic polymer to create a material that’s 2x stronger than vinyl. Reinforcing the inherent strength of the material is the design and careful assembly of 100 Series windows. The precision used to cut lineals, the care taken to weld corners, and the way that sash and frame are combined are steps that help create a product that’s rigid, stable, and weathertight.
