Why Impact?

Why Impact Resistance Is Important

Impact-resistant windows and doors come with a myriad of benefits for homeowners. While you may be seeking specialized equipment to protect your home against the elements, impact-resistant doors and windows can do a lot more than that. Here are a few benefits that you should be aware of. 

Noise Reduction

Impact-resistant windows are great at reducing outside noise and allow you to create a quaint and relaxed environment in your home. If you are looking to free yourself from the noise of your neighbor’s lawn mower or kids playing out on the street, consider installing impact-resistant windows in your home. 

Protection

Impact-resistant doors, windows, and shutters are designed to withstand the current State of Florida’s impact rating. They must be able to withstand the force of a 2x4 sq ft wooden board shot directly at the glass, while preventing the projectile from penetrating the window. Like automobile safety glass, impact glass is made from laminated glass for superior strength and flexibility. 

Energy Efficient and UV Protection

The innovative design of impact glass keeps the heat out during summers and prevents heat from escaping your home during winters. As a result, you can lower your utility bills by reducing the load on your HVAC system. 

Security

Due to their design, impact glass is very hard to penetrate, thereby, keeping people with malicious intent at bay. They are built to withstand a significant amount of blunt force before they break. However, if you are home, the noise created by a burglar with a baseball bat trying to break your window will easily alert you about any intrusions taking place. 

Adds Value and Easy to Maintain

Besides matching the aesthetics of your home, impact doors and windows offer a good return on resale value. Whether you are planning to stay in your home for years to come or decide to sell in the future, impact doors and windows are a wise choice.
