Windows and Doors Need the Strength and Aesthetics of Thermosets

In the construction market, materials must be sturdy, yet aesthetically appealing. Molding your next components from cost-effective thermoset composites such as Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) and Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) will save you time and money. Some applications that have converted to thermoset materials include:

• Door skins;
• Fencing;
• Roofing;
• Window panels.

Besides maintaining critical physical properties under exposure to stressful conditions, thermoset composites for construction must maintain an attractive appearance over time. For example, a bright white window frame must maintain its color and gloss when exposed to natural elements, drastic temperatures, and harmful cleaning supplies. BMC composite materials provide dimensional control, stain and corrosion resistance, and are more cost-effective than competing materials.
