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 San Antonio

What is an impact window?
An impact window is designed to withstand high winds and flying debris during severe weather events, like hurricanes.

This significantly reduces the risk of the window breaking and allowing wind and rain into your home, offering enhanced protection.
What are the drawbacks of impact windows?

While they offer excellent protection, they can also be heavier and sometimes slightly tint the view depending on the glass technology. However, for areas prone to severe weather like San Antonio, the benefits often outweigh these considerations.
What is the highest rated impact window?
The 'highest rated' impact window can vary based on specific testing standards and certifications, such as Miami-Dade compliance, which is a rigorous benchmark.
