The Benefits of Impact Glass Windows
Storm Protection
Impact glass windows are ideal for homes along the Gulf Coast where high winds and debris are a real threat. They help keep your home sealed and safe during hurricanes and major storms.
Energy Efficiency
With insulated frames and multi-layered glass, impact windows are great for hot, sunny climates like Houston. They help reduce heat gain and lower your monthly cooling costs.
Home Security
Because of their strong laminated construction, impact windows make it much harder for someone to break in. They’re a smart upgrade for ground-level rooms and entry points.
Noise & UV Reduction
Impact glass is perfect for busy streets or noisy neighborhoods. It also helps protect your furniture and flooring from fading caused by sunlight.
Professional window installation in progress—every impact window is precisely fitted for maximum protection, energy efficiency, and long-term performance.
Need some answers? Here are some FAQs.
What makes impact glass different from regular window glass?
Impact glass is made with multiple layers, including a durable interlayer (usually PVB or SGP) that holds the glass together even when shattered. This prevents dangerous breakage during storms or break-ins, unlike standard glass that can easily shatter.
Do impact windows really protect against hurricanes?
Yes. Impact windows are designed and tested to withstand high winds, flying debris, and rapid pressure changes. Many meet or exceed hurricane-zone building codes like Miami-Dade or ASTM E1996 standards.
Are impact windows energy-efficient?
Absolutely. Impact windows often include insulated glass, Low-E coatings, and weather-tight frames, all of which help reduce heat transfer and improve energy efficiency—especially helpful in Houston’s hot, humid climate.
Will I save money on insurance with impact windows?
Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with code-compliant impact windows, especially in storm-prone areas like Southeast Texas. It’s best to check with your provider to confirm eligibility.
Can I customize the look of impact windows?
Yes. Impact glass is available in a wide range of styles, shapes, and frame finishes. You don’t have to sacrifice curb appeal to get added protection.
