Hurricane impact windows protect homes during severe storms by resisting high winds and flying debris. Here’s how they differ from regular windows:
1. Laminated Glass
• Impact: Two glass layers bonded with a strong plastic (PVB/SentryGlas) that holds shards together when broken.
• Regular: Single or double panes that can shatter and scatter glass.
2. Reinforced Frames
• Impact: Heavy-duty frames (aluminum, vinyl, or steel) stay secure under wind pressure.
• Regular: Lighter frames may bend or fail in storms.
3. Pressure Resistance
• Impact: Built to withstand pressure shifts, reducing risk of structural damage.
• Regular: More likely to blow out, letting wind pressure build inside.
4. Extra Perks
• UV protection, noise reduction, better security, and possible insurance savings.
