As a veteran-owned, family-operated company, we can be relied on to enhance your home's safety and resilience against extreme weather conditions.
What Are Impact Windows?
Impact windows are vastly different from other kinds of windows, both in the glass used as well as the frame. When hurricane impact windows are made, two panes of glass are used to sandwich a layer of film or vinyl. This film helps to prevent the glass from breaking. It can absorb a tremendous amount of energy and causes the glass to spiderweb instead of shatter.
Because these windows don’t cave in or shatter when struck by debris, they will continue to protect your home from extreme wind pressure and rain that could cause devastating damage. Additionally, the glass used is tempered so, if it does break, it does so like safety glass with little pebbles of glass that will not cut.
The frames that the glass sits in are also much stronger than a normal energy-efficient window. These heavy-duty frames are meant to provide more surface area for the glass to rest against, making them capable of handling much higher wind speeds.
Energy Efficient Hurricane Impact Windows
You may not realize it, but the windows in your home in Clearwater or a surrounding area could be responsible for up to 25% of the cool air your air conditioning system loses. Our impact windows are designed for Florida homes, so they not only enhance protection, but also energy efficiency. Thanks to features such as insulating frames that prevent heat gain, and Low-E coatings that reflect UV rays, your new windows will make it easier for your air conditioning system to maintain a comfortable temperature, thereby resulting in lower monthly energy costs.
