Understanding Impact Glass Technology

What Is Impact Glass?

Impact glass is designed to surpass the durability of standard glass and is the most resilient option for your home's windows and doors. It eliminates the need for storm shutters while providing equivalent or better protection. Whether safeguarding against the next hurricane or fortifying your home against potential break-ins, impact glass is engineered to handle it all.

Energy Efficiency of Impact Glass

Beyond durability, impact glass offers significant energy advantages. The right impact glass can effectively block heat-causing sunlight without a dark tint, thanks to Low-E (LoE) technology. Clear glass can exhibit less heat transfer than even the darkest tints. Impact glass also improves home insulation — less cool air escapes through your windows in summer, leading to lower energy bills.

Sound Reduction

Impact glass significantly reduces external noise — whether you live near a busy road or have noisy neighbors. With overall glass thickness ranging from 7/16" to 9/16" compared to standard single-pane glass at 1/8", impact windows reduce noise by up to 40%.

Hurricane-Resistant vs. Standard Windows

Unlike conventional windows that may crack or shatter in high winds, hurricane-resistant windows are specifically crafted to endure both wind forces and flying debris. They provide assurance that your home won't be compromised by the storm.

Impact-Resistant Doors

Complementing impact windows, impact-resistant doors protect critical entry points — whether it's your front door, sliding glass door, or balcony doors. These doors feature the same durable laminated glass technology as our windows.
