The only way to know how long Fibrex will really last, will be in the real world of 'time'. There have been many items I have purchased that have lasted WAY beyond the warranty...cars, televisions, computers, etc. Fibrex I feel will be one such product.

Actually it is. Fiberglass is woven cloth saturated with epoxy. The cloth plays a role similar to that of rebar in concrete.

I have read posts where people have claimed that some of there vinyl windows warped which were still under warranty but was not covered because warping was considered natural weathering. So if warping in not a problem with a particular vinyl window, then it should not be a problem to have it written...

Before I made my choice on what window to get, I read as much as I could on the Internet about other peoples experiences with various windows. I have found posts where a warped vinyl was not cover by the warranty because it was considered natural weathering. Well, I don't know if this is true or not...
