Think FIBERGLASS First For Windows That Last!
Think FIBERGLASS First For Windows That Last! Superior | Slim Modern Frames | Spectacular Views THE GREENEST OF ALL Accurate Dorwin windows are easy on the environment with more LEED (Leadership in Energy and Design) focused architects and builders turning to fiberglass windows than any other style. Unlike some products, Accurate Dorwin fiberglass windows are made tough and last longer than others in the industry. This means fewer old windows lying around in landfills. Even the manufacturing process is a step ahead with systems using less energy to create the company’s innovative frame material. Altogether, Accurate Dorwin windows are among the greenest ways to view the outdoors, an attribute that comes with the assurance of testing by the National Fenestration Rating Council. PROFILE & HISTORY 1959 Accurate Dorwin Co. (Dorwin Industries), a leader in the fenestration industry has been in the business of making the finest quality and highest energy rated windows and doors since 1952. Well established in Central Canada, Accurate Dorwin Co. is dedicated to providing exceptional customer service to all residential and commercial customers throughout North America. 1983 In 1983, Dorwin Industries of Winnipeg introduced the first fiberglass window to the world. The idea evolved from a simple concept of using a composite material that is thermally superior to steel, wood, vinyl aluminum, and other materials. It was a revolutionary idea that proved to be a challenge. Nothing existed to fabricate the required window profiles. As a result, Dorwin Industries developed a new manufacturing process now known as “pultrusion”. Pultrusion involves saturating parallel strands of glass fibers with resin and pulling it through a heated die. The result is a pultruded fiberglass profile. • Fiberglass is paintable, stronger than vinyl, more weather-resistant than wood, and less thermally conductive than steel and aluminum. • It has a low thermal expansion and contraction coefficient similar to glass making it the ideal frame for most high performance IG units. • Fiberglass is a strong frame material ideal to handle heavier dualpane and tripane IG units. • Fiberglass frame system has narrower sightlines offering a higher ratio of glass area (daylight) to frame area than most conventional frame materials. 1.888.982.4640 | www.accuratedorwin.com Dorwin Industries pioneered and developed a system that combines the most dimensionally stable window frame material with foam insulation and high performance IG units. This system is what Accurate Dorwin Co. now proudly calls, “The Fiberglass Advantage”. 2006 Philosophy “A Company That Service Built” With over 60 years experience and a reputation for offering the best product, Accurate Dorwin backs every product sold with the very best customer service.

There were eight environmental factors that were considered when the decision was made to install windows with pultruded fiberglass frames and a high efficiency glazing system. A comparison to aluminum-clad and vinyl-high performance windows was made. 4 www.accuratedorwin.com | 1.888.982.4640 Materials Used Fiberglass for window frames is made of 65 to 85% glass fibers and 15 to 35% resin. Silica sand is melted and spun into the glass fibers. The resin is thermoset polyester, which is a petroleum-based alkyd containing styrene, glycols and acids. The insulation in the frames is expanded polystyrene. The pultruded lineals were produced by Omniglass of Winnipeg using fiberglass and resin from Owens Corning. The windows were manufactured and assembled by Accurate Dorwin of Winnipeg. The high-performance glazing units consisted of three panes of glass with LOF Energy Advantage Low-E coatings on surfaces 2 and 5, lowconductivity silicone Super Spacer from Edgetech and two argon gas fills. Aluminum-clad wood framed windows require aluminum sheeting and high quality clear lumber. Some finger-jointed lumber is used in interior components that are not visible once the window is installed. Vinyl windows are made from polyvinyl chloride and often contain steel reinforcement. Resource Depletion The raw material reserves for silica sand are very large at present and are not expected to be exhausted. Quality control concerns in the production of glass fiber presently preclude the use of recycled fiber and waste is not recycled into the process though these options are being investigated. In-plant waste resins for fiber glass are reused and re-blended. The raw material reserves are based on the limits of petroleum products. The amount of petroleum is relatively small and contributes to a durable product that has a long life and energy efficiency not available from other materials. The polystyrene insulation is a petroleum product and as mentioned above, has 1.888.982.4640 | www.accuratedorwin.com reserves based on the limits of petroleum. Again, a durable insulation is produced that has advantages in energy use reduction during the life of the window compared to other products. Vinyl windows require a large quantity of polyvinyl chloride resins which use petroleum as feed stock. Wood windows require clear heartwood for visible components placing a strain on old growth forests. Emissions During Manufacture Glass fiber production is said to be a closed process with few emissions escaping into the environment. Resin manufacture is also said to be a closed process with very few emissions in the environment. There is a chemical risk from the resins but it is less than that of PVC production. Expanded polystyrene is not produced in a closed process and some of the pentane blowing agent and other volatile compounds are able to escape. The production of PVC releases petroleum by product into the atmosphere. The production of aluminum releases two fluorine gasses with potent greenhouse warming potential. Embodied Energy The energy intensity (18 MJ/kg) of fiberglass is lower than that of PVC (26 MJ/kg). Fiberglass frames are slightly heavier than vinyl but have a lower embodied energy. Wood windows have a lower embodied energy but aluminum cladding increases energy requirements significantly. All of the components for fiberglass windows are manufactured in North America so that transportation energy is relatively low as shipping distances are short. Fiberglass window frames are extremely durable and are expected to last the life of the house. This 5 means that embodied energy must only be dealt with once rather than several times, as would be the case if the windows required replacement (as would probably occur with other materials). A standard double-glazed wood window has an energy rating of -33 W/m2. The highest triple-glazed wood window rating is 5 W/m2. Vinyl windows have similar ratings as wood. Energy Used During the Life of the Windows Ozone Depletion There are no ozone-depleting chemicals used in the manufacture of the fiberglass windows. The expanded polystyrene however, uses pentane (approximately 7% by volume) as a blowing agent (a greenhouse gas). The space heating energy consumed as a result of the windows is much greater than the energy required to construct the windows. With fiberglass windows, the space heating energy is actually an energy gain on average. The Accurate Dorwin windows used at the Green Home have an energy rating (ER) of 48 for the operable versions. This means that averaged over the four cardinal directions and across the Canadian climate, they gain 7.2 watts per square meter of window over the heating season. Accurate Dorwin Windows are listed for the Ontario Hydro incentive program that have a positive energy rating for an operable model. Environment Emissions During the Life of the Product Polyesters and keytones will off-gas for some time after fiberglass is manufactured. The painted finish on the surface of the frames is however expected to reduce the rate of emission. Vinyl windows and to a lesser extent, wood windows, also have emissions.

Energy use was considered to be the most important environmental factor. From this analysis, it was found that fiberglass windows have the lowest overall environmental impact. The energy efficiency and long life of fiberglass windows significantly reduces the need for purchased energy, which means that their impacts on resource depletion and embodied energy are also limited. The high energy use and to a lesser extent the emissions during production of aluminum-clad, wood and vinyl windows were the principal factors working against these products. Enermodal Engineering Limited 1.888.982.4640 | www.accuratedorwin.com 7 The Fiberglass Advantage Strength – Pultruded Fiberglass is the strongest of all window materials. Fiberglass is eight times stronger than PVC, over three times stronger than wood composites and 20% stronger than aluminium. Stability – Pultruded fiberglass frames exhibit minimal expansion and contraction in extreme temperature changes when compared to other window frame materials. Fiberglass and glass have similar rates of expansion and contraction which results in superior weather seal performance over a wide range of seasonal temperatures changes, smooth window operation and consistent alignment of the sash and frame. As a comparison PVC expands and contracts at a rate eight times of glass. Energy Efficiency – Pultruded Fiberglass window frames have a much lower thermal conductivity than other materials such as aluminium. This combined with insulated frames and sashes results in some of the most energy efficient windows in the world. Durability – Pultruded fiberglass window frames will not bend, warp, crack, dent, rust or corrode. Fiberglass will not corrode in coastal applications as it is impervious to saltwater. Environmentally Friendly – Pultruded Fiberglass window frames combined with high efficiency insulating glass can help reduce the world’s energy consumption. Fiberglass is made from silica sand an abundant natural resource. There is less embodied energy in fiberglass as compared to PVC which requires gas and petrol-chemicals. Aluminium requires large amounts of electricity and natural gas to produce and wood consumes large amounts of slow growing trees. 8 www.accuratedorwin.com | 1.888.982.4640 LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (LEED) LEED is an internationally recognized third party green building certi-fication system that encourages and accelerates the adaptation of sustainable green building practices.
