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.

What is an impact window?

An impact window is a specially designed window that uses laminated glass to resist breakage from high winds and flying debris. It consists of a strong interlayer, often made of PVB, bonded between two panes of glass. This construction prevents the glass from shattering into sharp pieces, providing superior protection.

What are the drawbacks of impact windows?

Some potential drawbacks include a higher initial purchase price compared to standard windows and, occasionally, a slight tinting effect. However, for many Buffalo homeowners, the enhanced security, potential for reduced energy costs, and increased home value make these trade-offs well worth it. The protection they offer is significant.

What is the highest rated impact window?

The highest-rated impact windows are those that meet or exceed stringent industry standards for wind load and impact resistance. These ratings are often determined by independent testing agencies.
