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.

This efficiency is a huge benefit during the hottest months, helping you maintain a cool home without excessive energy waste.
Frequently asked in Raleigh
How much does one impact window cost in Raleigh?
What is an impact window?
An impact window is designed with a specialized interlayer, typically a strong plastic film like PVB, bonded between two panes of glass. This construction prevents the glass from shattering into dangerous pieces when struck by debris during severe weather. Impact windows are engineered to withstand high winds and significant impacts, offering enhanced durability and protection for your home.
What are the drawbacks of impact windows?
While impact windows offer many advantages, their initial cost can be higher than standard windows, and the thicker glass might slightly change the amount of natural light or the visual clarity. Some models may also have a subtle tint. However, the significant increase in security, protection from severe weather, and potential energy savings often make these minor drawbacks well worth it for homeowners in Raleigh.
What is the highest rated impact window?
The 'highest rated' impact window is generally one that has successfully passed stringent testing standards, such as those set by the Florida Building Code, which are recognized for their demanding requirements for impact resistance and wind load. Different manufacturers produce windows that excel in these tests, offering top-tier performance. We can help you identify the best-rated options suitable for your Raleigh home.
