What affects the price
Replacing your windows with impact-rated glass involves a few variables that shift your final total. First, the size and number of openings in your home play the biggest role, as custom measurements require more material and labor. The style of window you choose—like single-hung, casement, or sliders—also changes the math, as does the frame material, such as vinyl versus aluminum. If you live in an area with stricter wind-load requirements, that might necessitate thicker glass or specialized hardware.
Common questions
How much does one impact window cost?
The price for a single impact window can vary based on size, style, and specific features. When you call, the licensed pro who handles your estimate will be able to provide a precise cost for the windows you need, taking into account the specific requirements for your home and any local building codes.
What is an impact window?
An impact window is designed to withstand strong winds and flying debris during severe weather events like hurricanes. They feature a strong frame and a laminated glass pane that holds together even when broken, preventing shards from scattering and stopping wind and rain from entering your home.
What are the drawbacks of impact windows?
While highly beneficial, impact windows can sometimes be more expensive upfront than standard windows, and the laminated glass can slightly reduce light transmission or visibility compared to regular glass. However, the enhanced protection and potential insurance discounts often outweigh these considerations.
