What Are Impact Resistant Windows

Impact resistant windows are specially designed windows built to withstand extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes and high winds, while providing enhanced safety, energy efficiency, and noise reduction. These windows feature laminated glass with an interlayer, often made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), that holds the glass together even if shattered. This prevents debris, water, and wind from penetrating the home, significantly reducing the risk of damage and injury during storms.

Impact resistant windows are not just about weather protection. They also enhance home security by making it much harder for intruders to break in, as the glass remains intact even under force. Additionally, these windows improve energy efficiency by minimizing heat transfer and providing better insulation, which helps reduce energy costs.

For homeowners seeking reliable solutions, Republic Impact Windows & Doors offers a wide range of high-quality impact resistant windows. These products not only meet Florida Building Code standards but also enhance the aesthetic and safety of any home, making them a valuable investment for protection and peace of mind.

Materials used in impact windows construction

Impact windows are constructed using specialized materials designed to provide superior strength, durability, and protection against extreme weather conditions. The primary component of impact windows is laminated glass, which consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a strong, flexible interlayer, usually made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). This interlayer holds the glass in place even if it breaks, preventing dangerous shards from becoming projectiles.

The frames of impact windows are equally important and are typically made from materials like aluminum, vinyl, or reinforced steel. Aluminum frames are known for their strength and resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for storm-prone areas. Vinyl frames, on the other hand, provide excellent insulation and require minimal maintenance, while reinforced steel frames add extra durability for maximum security.

Some advanced impact windows incorporate insulated glass units (IGUs), which combine impact-resistant laminated glass with energy-efficient features like double glazing and Low-E coatings. These materials not only enhance protection but also improve energy efficiency, reduce noise, and ensure the windows withstand long-term use in harsh environments. The combination of these high-quality materials makes impact windows a reliable choice for safety, security, and energy savings.

What Are Impact Resistant WindowsMaintenance of impact windows

Maintaining impact windows is essential to ensure their longevity, functionality, and continued protection against extreme weather and other hazards. Fortunately, impact windows are designed to be low-maintenance, but regular care can keep them in optimal condition.

Start by cleaning the glass with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratches. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the laminated glass or its protective coatings. For the frames, whether they are aluminum, vinyl, or steel, use mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris, ensuring the finish remains intact.

Inspect the seals and gaskets periodically for signs of wear or cracks. These components are crucial for maintaining energy efficiency and preventing water leaks. If any damage is noticed, contact a professional for repair or replacement.

Regularly check the locking mechanisms and hinges to ensure smooth operation. Lubricate moving parts as necessary to prevent rust or stiffness. Finally, after a storm, examine your impact windows for any potential damage, even if they appear intact. Proper maintenance not only preserves the aesthetic and functional quality of your impact windows but also ensures they continue to provide the safety and energy efficiency they are designed for.
