What affects the price

When you look at the price of impact windows, several factors shift the final number. The size and quantity of your window openings are the biggest drivers, as is the specific style—like single-hung, casement, or sliding doors. 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.

What is the highest rated impact window?

The 'highest rated' impact window is typically one that meets or exceeds rigorous building code requirements for wind and impact resistance, often certified by independent testing bodies.
