In a typical home, the windows are obvious points of weakness. Even well-made traditional windows often shatter when struck by debris and other impacts. Many are also poorly reinforced and offer surprisingly little resistance to intruders. Hurricane impact windows address all of these issues, providing outstanding protection against wind, water, debris impacts, forced entry, and more.

To achieve this superior performance, hurricane-rated windows combine laminated glass with heavy-duty hardware and reinforced frames. Individual pieces of glass undergo a specialized silicone glazing process, after which they’re bonded together with a transparent interlayer. This creates an exceedingly strong pane of glass that effectively resists most impacts. Even if the glass does break, it won’t shatter and produce sharp, dangerous shards.
