What affects the price
The final price for impact windows depends on several variables specific to your home. The biggest factors include the total number of openings you need to cover, the style of the windows, and the specific glass thickness required for your local building codes. Opting for specialized frame materials or custom sizes will naturally push your investment higher compared to standard configurations.
