What affects the price

When you look at the price of impact windows, several factors shift the final number.

You will also see price differences based on the type of glass coating you choose for energy efficiency and the thickness of the aluminum or vinyl frames. Added hardware features or custom finishes can also adjust the bottom line.

Frequently asked in Cary

How much does one impact window cost in Cary?

What is an impact window?

An impact window is a type of window designed with a strong, shatter-resistant interlayer, typically made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This interlayer holds the glass together even if the outer pane cracks. This prevents large shards from entering your home during high winds and impacts.

What are the drawbacks of impact windows?

While highly beneficial, some potential drawbacks include a slightly higher upfront cost compared to standard windows and a potential for the PVB interlayer to yellow over many years, though modern options minimize this. The weight can also be a factor in installation. You'll learn more when you get your quote.

What is the highest rated impact window?
