Vinyl compares very favorably to other window materials such as wood, aluminum and fiberglass. It’s thermal performance, insulating value and cost to produce are all things in which vinyl is generally superior. Vinyl is also very low maintenance and while it was not generally considered a paintable product, advancements in technology have made that a thing of the past. Custom Built can custom paint your windows nearly any color imaginable, allowing you to match any color scheme you need.

Painted doors should be re-painted every 5-7 years, or as often as needed to maintain the desired color. Please use an exterior grade, enamel paint for optimal appearance and durability.

FiberTuff Woodgrain doors which have been stained at the factory should have undergo another application of polyurethane every 1-2 years. However, that timeframe is dependent on many variables and is only an average. Length of time and intensity of exposure to various natural elements such as the sun, salt and pollution all effect the finish’s lifespan. We use and recommend a marine-grade polyurethane. Please follow the specific manufacture’s directions when applying polyurethane to fiberglass doors.
