What are the main benefits of installing impact windows and doors?
Impact windows and doors offer numerous advantages, including superior hurricane protection, potential home insurance discounts, energy savings, noise reduction, increased security, and an overall boost in property value.
Do I still need storm shutters if I install impact windows?
No, with impact windows, you won’t need storm shutters. Our impact products are designed to withstand the force of hurricane winds and debris, eliminating the need for additional protection.
How do impact windows differ from regular windows?
Impact windows are made with laminated glass layers and a strong interlayer that holds the glass together upon impact, preventing shattering. Regular windows, on the other hand, lack this reinforced structure and require additional storm protection.
Will impact windows reduce noise from outside?
Yes, impact windows significantly reduce outside noise, creating a quieter indoor environment. Their layered construction helps to block out a large portion of external sounds.
Are impact windows and doors energy efficient?
Yes, our impact windows and doors are designed to improve energy efficiency. They provide enhanced insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures, reduce heat transfer, and lower energy bills.
How can impact windows improve home security?
Impact windows are built to withstand high levels of force, making them more resistant to break-ins than regular windows. The reinforced glass and structure provide an added layer of security for your home.
How should I prepare my home for installation day?
Please ensure that there is a clear area of about 2.5 feet in front of each window. If you have heavy furniture nearby, our installation team will assist in moving it as needed.
Do impact windows qualify for home insurance discounts?
Many insurance providers offer discounts for homes equipped with impact windows and doors. We recommend checking with your provider to understand how impact products might reduce your premium.
