Product Questions
What are impact windows?
Custom impact windows have a rigid, multi-chambered construction and an impact-resistant glass that features a layer of transparent polymer between two sheets of glass. In addition to providing an extra layer of protection against damaging weather, impact windows maximize energy efficiency, lower utility costs, reduce exterior noise for a quieter environment, and provide an extra layer of security.
Why should I consider Impact Window Installation?
Impact windows are popular in coastal regions where they help protect against extreme weather conditions. Homeowners in other areas can also benefit from their extra layer of weather insulation that keeps interior living spaces warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, reducing energy costs.
Are impact windows and hurricane windows the same?
Though often used interchangeably, hurricane windows and impact windows are not the same. Impact windows offer protection from wind damage and are made to withstand repeated, high-force impacts, while hurricane windows offer protection from wind damage only.
Are impact-resistant windows and impact windows the same thing?
Yes, impact-resistant windows and impact windows are the same thing. Both refer to windows designed to withstand wind damage and damage from high-force impact.
Are storm windows and impact windows the same thing?
No, storm windows are different from impact windows in their construction and purpose. Storm windows, which can be made of glass or plastic, are often installed over old, drafty single-pane windows to add insulation and weather protection and improve home energy efficiency. However, impact windows, which are made with layers of laminated or "safety" glass, have protective features built in, such as the ability to withstand high-force impacts, and are designed to keep homes safe from weather damage and break-ins.
Are there different types of impact windows?
Yes, different types of impact windows are available, including aluminum impact windows and vinyl impact windows. Impact windows are also available in various shapes and sizes and can be custom installed in your home. Custom finishes, hardware and glass coatings are also available as well as the option to select the Design Pressure (DP) rating for each opening.
How do I maintain impact windows?
Clean impact windows as needed. Remove loose debris on window frames by wiping with a soft cloth. Clean window panes with a household glass cleaner and dry thoroughly to prevent streaking. Remove window screens and wash with warm, soapy water, or leave screens in place and wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.

1) - The person who came to measure the windows did not communicate ahead of time that he was coming and showed up on Sunday afternoon to measure. Poor communication. 2) The windows were measure incorrectly resulting in longer windows which meant bigger cut outs on the windows. This resulted in our shutters that we were going to reuse being too short for our new windows, no we have to purchase new shutters for 15 windows. Added expense for us!!!! 3) There were not enough guys sent out to do the job in a timely manner; therefore, it took longer to complete the job, and the guys were here very late at night. 4) We feel that we spent too much money for the product/service provided and definitely are not satisfied with the results. We will NOT be recommending your product/service to others.

Home Safety Tips
Impact Window Installation
Impact windows are reliable in severe weather and help your home’s exterior look great. Made of 100% premium vinyl, impact windows boast rigid, multi-chambered construction to meet or exceed stringent hurricane protection standards. With metal-reinforced frames and fusion-welded sashes to meet building codes and impact zone requirements, you can be confident in your home’s protection from the storm.
If you live in areas where high winds, hurricanes and other storms are common, consider new windows from The Home Depot. Benefits of replacement impact windows include:
- Multiple contact points between frames and sashes to block air and water
- Maximum impact glass system to protect against wind penetration
- Non-permanent, roll-formed hurricane panels installed on an extruded track system or fastened with anchors
When dangerous storms threaten, you can also take advantage of heavy-duty easy-care, installed aluminum shutters that eliminate the need to add panels.

- A variety of glass and grid options to complement virtually every architectural style with classic lines and a rich appearance
