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.

Frequently asked in Pittsburgh

How much does one impact window cost?

Installation complexity also plays a part. For an accurate figure, it's best to get a personalized quote from a local expert. They can assess your needs and provide a precise cost.

What is an impact window?

An impact window is a specially designed window featuring laminated glass that resists shattering upon impact. It consists of two panes of glass with a strong interlayer, typically made of PVB. This construction prevents the glass from breaking into sharp pieces, offering superior protection against wind-borne debris common in severe weather.

What are the drawbacks of impact windows?

Some impact windows might have a slightly darker tint or a subtle distortion compared to regular glass, although advancements have greatly reduced this. The initial cost can also be higher than standard windows. However, for Pittsburgh homeowners seeking enhanced security and storm protection, these drawbacks are often outweighed by the benefits.
