ULTREX®

QUITE POSSIBLY THE PERFECT BUILDING MATERIAL Ultrex is a pultruded fiberglass

material perfect for windows and doors

Patented material pioneered by Marvin®

Durable, strong, low maintenance and beautiful

Outperforms vinyl and vinyl/wood composites

THE ULTREX® ADVANTAGEEXPANSION-CONTRACTION Ultrex has a low Coefficient of

Thermal Expansion (CTE) 314% less expansion than

Fibrex®

Ultrex expands at virtually same rate as glass

Benefits Windows stay tightly sealed Minimizes leaks Reduces seal failures Decreases stress cracks Long-term performance Better energy efficiency11

THE ULTREX® ADVANTAGEFINISH

Benefits Ultrex provides a superior,

thick consistent finish No-worry durability Available in dark colors Can be painted without

compromising performance

THE FACTS Vinyl/wood composites are more like vinyl

than fiberglass Thermoplastics Low tensile and modulus strength High Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) Low heat resistance Non-certified finish

Fiberglass is a composite, but not all composites are fiberglass…choose wisely.
