What exactly is an impact window, and how does it work?
An impact window is a specialized type of fenestration designed to withstand the force of high winds and projectile impacts during severe weather events. Its core component is a laminated glass made of two panes of glass bonded together with a strong interlayer, typically made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This interlayer absorbs the impact energy, preventing the glass from shattering into dangerous shards. The frame is also reinforced to maintain structural integrity. The pros who install these systems ensure proper anchoring to resist extreme pressure differentials experienced in storms, offering a robust barrier for your home.
