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.

Summer heat is intense, and impact windows act as a powerful barrier against thermal transfer. By blocking solar heat gain, your air conditioning system doesn't have to work as hard, which helps keep your energy costs manageable. Getting your windows replaced now provides a cool, quiet environment inside, regardless of how high the temperature climbs outside your home.
Frequently asked in Reno
How much does one impact window cost in Reno?
The price for a single impact window in Reno can differ based on its size, the type of frame material, and any special features like enhanced UV protection. It's important to get a specific quote tailored to your needs. We can help you understand the factors influencing the cost.
What is an impact window?
An impact window is a type of window constructed with a laminated glass layer, typically made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), sandwiched between two panes of glass. This interlayer holds the glass together even if it cracks, preventing it from shattering and significantly increasing its resistance to high winds and projectile impacts.
What are the drawbacks of impact windows?
Some drawbacks might include a slightly higher initial cost compared to standard windows and potentially a subtle tinting effect from the laminate. However, many Reno homeowners find these minor points are outweighed by the enhanced security and potential for reduced energy bills. The peace of mind they offer is substantial.
What is the highest rated impact window?
The highest-rated impact windows typically meet stringent industry standards for wind resistance and projectile impact testing. Brands often achieve high ratings through advanced materials and manufacturing processes. We can guide you towards options that are well-regarded and suitable for your specific needs in Reno.
What is the average cost of hurricane windows in Reno?
Do hurricane impact windows really work?
Yes, hurricane impact windows are engineered and rigorously tested to provide superior protection against severe weather, including high winds and flying debris. They are a proven method for safeguarding homes and preventing catastrophic damage during storms. Their effectiveness is well-documented in regions prone to extreme weather.
