Summer heat puts a massive strain on air conditioning systems.

This efficiency is a huge benefit during the hottest months, helping you maintain a cool home without excessive energy waste.

What's the difference between storm windows and impact windows?
The primary distinction lies in their construction and purpose. Storm windows are typically secondary windows installed over your primary ones to offer a basic layer of protection against wind and rain. Impact windows, on the other hand, are designed as primary replacement windows engineered with laminated glass and robust frames to withstand high-velocity impacts from windborne debris during severe storms. They are built to meet rigorous safety standards, offering a much higher level of protection than traditional storm shutters or basic storm windows.

What are the general price considerations for impact windows?
When considering the price for impact windows, think about the frame materials (vinyl, aluminum, composite), the type of laminated glass (PVB interlayers are standard), and the window's overall size and design. More complex window types, like casement or architectural shapes, may incur higher costs than standard double-hung units. The quality of the hardware, such as stainless steel fasteners, also plays a role. A professional assessment is necessary for an accurate price.
