Impact Window Basics

Impact windows go through a rigorous testing and certification process in order to get the designation of a hurricane window. In order to be considered an impact window, the replacement unit must have a design pressure rating of at least 45. Typically, these windows use some form of laminate glass, which is much stronger than your typical clear or low E window glass. In addition, the windows will use extremely strong seals, glazing, corner welds, hardware, and spacer systems in order to achieve a sturdy well-built replacement window.
