Thinking about replacing your homes windows with
impact-resistant windows, commonly referred to as
hurricane-impact windows? Well, if you are
anything like me you probably have a lot of
questions. There is no question that
hurricane-impact windows have a lot of great
benefits, but are they worth the investment?
Before you pull the trigger and commit to
spending tens of thousands of dollars youll want
to take a deeper look into these benefits. You
may be surprised to find out some of the benefits
youve been told or read about impact-resistant
windows are false.

Hurricane impact windows are designed to offer
year-round protection from high winds, water
intrusion, and intruders. They are capable of
withstanding wind speeds up to 200 miles per
hour. To put it into perspective a category 5
hurricane has wind speeds of 157 mph and
higher. Much like auto safety glass, impact
windows are made with laminated glass. When this
type of glass breaks it produces spider web
cracking instead of large shards of glass that
can be sent flying. Impact windows are created
with two panels of glass that are bonded with a
clear ultra-strong interlayer of either polyvinyl
butyral or ethylene-vinyl acetate. They are
combined with a heavy-duty frame and have a
special silicone glazing process to keep the
glass from breaking away from its frame.

Increased Protection
The most popular reason people take the plunge
and have impact windows installed is for added
protection. Whether its flying debris during a
hurricane or a burglar attempting to break in
impact windows are difficult to penetrate.
Therefore, they add an additional layer of
protection that standard windows cannot provide.

Ultraviolet Protection
In addition to making your home more
energy-efficient hurricane impact windows can
block up to 99 of UV rays penetrating your home.
In turn, impact windows will protect your
furniture, floors, walls and artwork from being
affected by sunlight.

Appearance
Hurricane impact windows are just that, windows,
they are clean, sleek and streamline. So there is
no need to have accordion shutters flanking your
windows year-round or having to keep the ugly
metal hurricane panels up for extended periods of
time. Plus, the days of sitting in a pitch-black
home while a hurricane approaches and you lose
power will be long gone.

Noise Reduction
There is no such thing as noise-canceling
windows, but hurricane impact windows can greatly
decrease the level of noise from the outside. So
if your home backs to a busy road, business or
school you can reduce the amount of outside noise
by having impact-resistant windows installed.

Hurricane impact windows have so many great
benefits, but they are very costly. As a
homeowner, its important to make sound decisions
when investing any amount of money into your
home. Hurricane impact windows will certainly
add value to a home, but that value may not be
monetary. If you decide to take the plunge and
install hurricane impact windows make sure to
hire a reputable company. Hiring a fly by night
company that is cheap compared to the
competition can turn into a nightmare. If youre
going to do it you want to make sure to do it
right the first time.
