  1. Ultrex® Industry Leader in Pultruded Fiberglass Windows and Doors

  2. Competitive Landscape TOUGH = SMART • Why Ultrex®? • Ultrex advantage message is paramount • Expanding opportunity • Expanded segments • Proliferation of composites • New competitive pressures Ultrex – Quite possibly the perfect building material!

  3. Material Choices Ultrex® Thermoset • Fixed state after curing process • High heat resistance • Resists deformation Expansion/Contraction • Low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) Strength • High tensile and modulus strength UV Resistance • Patented/AAMA certified finish Vinyl Thermoplastic • Soft with heat • Brittle with cold • Susceptible to deformation Expansion/Contraction • High Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) Strength • Low tensile and modulus strength UV degradation • Chalking, fading, cracking Vinyl/Wood Composite (Fibrex®) Thermoplastic • Soft with heat • Brittle with cold • Susceptible to deformation Expansion/Contraction • High Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) Strength • Low tensile and modulus strength

  4. Material Choices Ultrex® • Thermoset • Fixed state after curing process • High heat resistance • Resists deformation • Expansion/Contraction • Low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) • Strength • High tensile and modulus strength • UV Resistance • Patented/AAMA certified finish

  5. Material Choices

  6. The Leader in Fiberglass Windows & Doors Integrity pioneered the fiberglass window and door industry nearly 20 years ago with the introduction of Ultrex®fiberglass windows and doors.

  7. 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

  8. The ULTREX® advantageHEAT DEFLECTION Thermoset vs. Thermoplastic • Stable material even with extreme temperatures • Resists becoming brittle in cold or changing shape in heat • Ultrex resists distortion even at temperatures up to 350°F Benefits • Superior durability • Consistent performance • Longevity 163 173 350

  9. The ULTREX® advantageSTRENGTH Benefits • Ease of installation • Square and true • Resists damage • Low weight • Resists ambient forces • Provides consistent performance • Maximizes daylight opening TENSILE STRENGTH 7.0 5.675 40.14 MODULUS STRENGTH 385 807.6 4057.8

  10. The ULTREX® advantageSTRENGTH

  11. 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 efficiency

  12. The ULTREX® advantageFINISH Benefits • Ultrex provides a superior, thick consistent finish • No-worry durability • Available in dark colors • Can be painted without compromising performance * * *Ultrex was the first material to be certified AAMA 623-10, and is the only material to be listed on AAMA’s Variable Components List (VCL) for 624-10 and 625-10.

  13. The ULTREX® advantageCORROSION Resists Corrosion • Reduced vulnerability to moisture, salt and other corrosive elements Benefit • Improved durability, even in coastal regions

  14. The ULTREX® advantageCONDUCTIVITY LowConductivity • Minimal heat and cold transfer Benefit • Overall energy efficiency

  15. The ULTREX® advantageIMPACT RESISTANCE • Ultrex has a high impact resistance Benefits • Resists damage from impact events • Shipping • Delivery • Installation • Weather • Everyday Life IMPACT RESISTANCE.

  16. The ULTREX® advantageIMPACT RESISTANCE IMPACT RESISTANCE. Fibrex® Ultrex® Hail Test - 1” ice cube shot at 3 psi

  17. 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.

  18. There’s Ultrex® and there’s everything else…
