Many Columbus residents might confuse impact windows with standard storm shutters, but they serve distinct purposes and offer different levels of integrated protection. While storm shutters are typically deployed only during severe weather events, impact windows are a permanent upgrade designed to withstand significant forces year-round. This means they are engineered with laminated glass, usually featuring a robust polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer, which prevents shattering upon impact from windborne debris. The frames themselves are also reinforced to maintain structural integrity under high wind pressures, a critical factor during severe Ohio thunderstorms or the occasional high-wind event. The installation process for these windows is precise, involving secure anchoring into the building's structure to ensure they don't become projectiles themselves. Understanding the specific building codes and testing standards, such as those established by ASTM International, is vital for ensuring the windows provide the advertised level of protection. For homes in areas like the Short North or German Village, where older architecture might exist alongside newer constructions, the proper assessment of existing window openings is key. This thorough approach ensures that the chosen impact windows will perform effectively, offering enhanced safety and potentially reducing homeowner's insurance premiums. Making the upgrade is a proactive step towards safeguarding your property. Call us to discuss your needs.

What affects the price

The final price for impact windows depends on several variables. The biggest factor is the size and type of your window frames, along with the specific glass thickness required for your local building codes. Opting for custom shapes or specialized tints also shifts the total. Installation complexity matters too; if your existing frames are damaged or if the project requires extra structural support, labor costs will increase. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Summer heat puts a massive strain on air conditioning systems. Impact windows help manage indoor temperatures by blocking out intense solar heat, which means your cooling system does not have to work nearly as hard. This efficiency is a huge benefit during the hottest months, helping you maintain a cool home without excessive energy waste.

What are hurricane windows?

Hurricane windows are a type of impact-resistant window specifically designed to withstand the extreme conditions associated with hurricanes, such as very high winds and projectile impacts. They are engineered with laminated glass, typically two or more panes bonded together with a strong interlayer, and reinforced frames. This construction prevents the glass from shattering and breaching the building envelope, even when struck by debris. While the term 'hurricane' implies a focus on tropical storm regions, the protective qualities are beneficial in any area prone to severe storms. They offer a permanent solution for enhanced protection.
