Window’s
fiberglass windows and doors are high-quality products that are actually
made to withstand Alaska’s
harsh conditions. It is generally understood that Vinyl (PVC), Wood, and
Aluminum windows and doors are not ideal for Alaska’s unique climate; Vinyl’s
expansion/contraction problems cause warping and its weak structural strength
requires steel reinforcement, Wood swells and shrinks with the humidity, and
Aluminum’s high thermal conductivity results in severe heat loss. So why are
most buildings spec’d with Vinyl, Wood, and Aluminum windows and doors? The
short answer is that the superior alternative was never readily available. Till
now...
Great Land Window
manufactures fiberglass windows and doors.
Fiberglass is a proven material that offers clearly substantial improvements
over vinyl, wood, and aluminum. We utilize pultruded fiberglass frames,
high-quality hardware, and a multitude of glazing options to construct the most
appropriate windows and doors available for
Alaska’s
unique arctic conditions. All common window and door types are available
in a larger range of sizes than is possible with Wood or Vinyl frames.

Great Land Window
manufactures several types of fixed and opening windows and doors. All of
our products are made with fully insulated fiberglass frames and sashes,
stainless steel fasteners, commercial grade hardware, dual cold-temperature
seals, and a wide variety of glass options. We manufacture in Fairbanks and
ship throughout Alaska. All components are kept on premise simplifying
maintenance and repair. We can fabricate almost any straight-line shape and
connect them in almost any grouping or configuration. The following are
brief descriptions of our more common windows and doors. Most windows can
accommodate appropriately sized double, triple, or five-pane glass.
Windows
- Tilt / Turn: An
inward opening window that opens in two directions. Turning the handle 90
degrees will allow you to turn the window inward on hinges mounted on the
left or right. Turning the handle 180 degrees will allow you to tilt the
window inwards on hinges mounted horizontally at the bottom. This is the
tightest sealing, warmest window made due to the multitude of locking
points that can be used on both sides, top, and bottom. It is also
commonly called a “European” or “Dual-Action” window.
- Hopper: An
inward opening window with multi-point locks that is hinged at the bottom
and tilts from the top.
- Casement: An
outward opening crank-operated window with multi-point locks. This window
is hinged on the left or right sides.
- Awning: An
outward opening crank-operated window with dual locks. This window is
hinged on the top and swings out from the bottom.
- 700 Series: An
inward opening window hinged on the left, right, or bottom. This window
has a very basic design and is a less expensive option for an insulated
fiberglass opening window.
- 400 Series: A
window wall system that is far superior to aluminum window walls due to
its insulated fiberglass frames and lower cost. The frame can be
structurally reinforced with steel or urethane to suit the application.
Doors
- Tilt / Turn: An
inward opening patio door that opens in two directions much like the
Tilt/Turn window above. Turning the handle 90 degrees will allow you to
turn the window inward on hinges mounted on the left or right. Turning
the handle 180 degrees will allow you to tilt the window inwards on hinges
mounted horizontally at the bottom. This is the tightest sealing, warmest
door made due to the 9-12 locking points that are fixed on the top,
bottom, and both sides.
We have a multitude of
fixed window styles to match the aesthetics and sightlines of all the
opening windows and doors described above. All of our products are made to
fit, and can be combined in almost any combination. Please call us for more
detailed information. As always, feel free to
contact us at any time for more information.
