What makes impact windows the best choice for my Joliet home?
Impact windows offer superior protection against severe weather, including high winds and flying debris, which is crucial for homes in Joliet. Their advanced construction, featuring laminated glass and reinforced frames, meets stringent building codes and standards. This provides enhanced security and peace of mind. They also contribute to improved energy efficiency and noise reduction. This makes them a wise long-term investment for your property.
What is an impact window and how does it differ from a regular window?
An impact window is engineered with a laminated glass pane, typically consisting of two panes of glass bonded together by a strong interlayer, often polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or SentryGlas. This construction allows the glass to remain intact even when subjected to severe impacts, preventing dangerous shattering and providing a barrier against wind and water intrusion. Standard windows, by contrast, are typically made with monolithic glass, which breaks into sharp shards when impacted.
How are impact windows installed by professionals?
Impact window installation involves carefully removing existing window units and preparing the rough opening. The new impact window frame is then securely anchored to the wall structure using specialized fasteners, ensuring a robust and weather-tight seal. The surrounding areas are meticulously sealed to prevent water and air infiltration, meeting the rigorous performance standards required by building codes. This precise method guarantees optimal structural integrity and protection.
