Frequently asked in San Diego

How much does one impact window cost?

What is an impact window?

An impact window is a specialized window designed to resist breakage from high winds and flying debris common during severe weather. They consist of multiple layers of glass with a strong interlayer, ensuring that even if the glass cracks, it remains largely intact. This prevents catastrophic failure and keeps your home secure from the elements.

What are the drawbacks of impact windows?

Some homeowners note that impact windows may offer slightly less clarity or light transmission than standard windows due to their layered construction. The initial purchase price can also be higher. However, these minor trade-offs are generally outweighed by the superior protection they provide against storms, potentially leading to lower insurance premiums and increased home value.

What is the highest rated impact window?

Determining the 'highest rated' impact window often involves looking at specific performance metrics like wind load resistance and impact tests, such as those approved by Miami-Dade County. Different manufacturers may lead in different categories. For San Diego homeowners, it's about finding a window that meets or exceeds local building codes and your personal security needs. Consulting with a pro is beneficial.
