An impact window is a type of window designed to resist damage from extreme weather events. It features laminated glass that is bonded together with a strong interlayer. This construction prevents the glass from shattering when struck by wind-borne debris.
Impact windows generally come with a higher upfront cost than standard windows. Some individuals may notice a slight difference in the clarity of the glass or a heavier feel to the window operation. The installation may also require structural considerations for the frame.
The highest rated impact windows are those that have successfully passed stringent testing for wind resistance and impact durability according to industry standards. These ratings are often certified by organizations that simulate severe weather conditions. We help you select appropriate options for your Virginia Beach home.
