Fiberglass window frames have advantages over wooden frames such as being resistant to changes, leaks, and warping over time. They are also easy to install as the frames remain square and level without additional reinforcement. Fiberglass is also a good insulator, making windows with fiberglass frames energy efficient. Common window types include double hung and side hung, with double hung traditionally being timber but also available in aluminum, and side hung generally being made of timber as well.
