Fiberglass frames exhibit low thermal conductivity, effectively minimizing heat transfer in or out of buildings. Compared to metal frames, fiberglass significantly outperforms in insulating properties, as evidenced by a simple touch test in -20°C conditions. DUXTON provides an extensive range of dual, triple, and quad-pane glazing options, ensuring top-tier thermal performance and energy efficiency in commercial applications.
With effective U-values as low as 0.79 W/m2K (FiberWall Fixed), some customers have even been able to reduce their mechanical systems or exterior insulation. DUXTON’s fiberglass commercial solutions are designed to meet the highest standards, making them ideal for various commercial applications, including schools, hospitals, and office buildings.
Fiberglass, composed of 60% silica sand, requires only 20-25% of the energy needed to convert bauxite into aluminum, making it an energy-efficient choice. Its longevity minimizes environmental impact, promoting sustainability in a society that often discards products quickly. By choosing durable, high-quality fiberglass products, landfill waste is reduced. DUXTON supports long-term sustainability with a 20-year warranty, ensuring their products endure for decades.
By incorporating fiberglass into your designs, you’re choosing a material that not only offers superior durability and performance but also supports sustainable building practices. DUXTON’s fiberglass commercial solutions provide an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly option for your commercial projects.
Fiberglass offers exceptional color flexibility, making it an ideal choice for architectural coatings. Its naturally porous surface allows for excellent adhesion of both standard and custom colors, ensuring vibrant finishes both inside and out. The minimal rate of expansion and contraction in fiberglass contributes to the durability of these finishes, maintaining their integrity and appearance over time. This stability ensures that the colour remains consistent and the finish remains intact, even in the extreme environmental conditions of Canadian summers and winters.
DUXTON applies AAMA rated coatings, from AAMA 623 for light colours, to AAMA 624 for dark colours, and one of the first in the prairies to start offering a water-based AAMA 625 in select projects!
Fiberglass offers exceptional bending strength, allowing for slimmer frames and larger glass areas, enhancing views and reducing the need for numerous frame divisions. This enables expansive openings and stunning floor-to-ceiling glass installations that seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor spaces. With fiberglass, you can create visually striking and open environments that elevate the aesthetic and functional appeal of any space.
DUXTON’s FiberWall™ Series has been used in openings such as 20×20’ and 18×80’ – so redefine a “punched opening” and dream big! DUXTON’s fiberglass commercial solutions provide the strength and flexibility needed for these expansive designs, ensuring both durability and visual appeal.
