Impact windows, also known as hurricane or storm windows, are designed to withstand the force of severe weather conditions, such as hurricanes or heavy storms. They are made with a layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) between two panes of glass, which keeps the window intact even if the glass breaks. This construction prevents debris from penetrating the window, offering protection to the home's interior and its occupants.
Yes, beyond their primary function of protecting homes from severe weather, impact windows also offer several additional benefits. They can improve energy efficiency by reducing heat gain and loss, thus lowering energy costs. Impact windows also provide enhanced security against break-ins, reduce noise pollution from the outside, and can offer UV protection to reduce the fading of fabrics and furnishings inside the home.
es, in many cases, installing impact windows can lead to reductions in homeowners' insurance premiums, especially in areas prone to hurricanes and storms. Insurance companies often recognize the added protection that impact windows provide and may offer discounts to homeowners who upgrade their homes with these windows.
Impact windows perform well in terms of energy efficiency due to their multi-layered construction, which provides better insulation than standard single-pane windows. This can help keep homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing the need for heating and cooling and, consequently, lowering energy bills. Many impact windows meet or exceed energy efficiency standards set by organizations such as ENERGY STAR.
The primary downside to installing impact windows is the initial cost, which can be significantly higher than standard windows. However, for many homeowners, the benefits of improved safety, energy efficiency, noise reduction, and potential insurance savings outweigh the initial investment. Additionally, some homeowners may have limited options if they live in historic districts with strict regulations on exterior modifications.
