Although strong enough to stand up to hurricanes, impact resistant windows are useful for a variety of other purposes, whether or not you live in an area prone to hurricanes.

Let's explore some of the additional perks of impact resistant windows:

• Energy Star ratings. Choose energy-efficient impact windows to decrease your heating costs with better insulation. It will save you money and reduce your carbon footprint.
• Noise reduction. Whether you have loud neighbors, live near a train track, or are bothered by noise from other sources, impact windows will block out more sound than standard glass.
• Insurance discounts. Homeowners in areas at risk to hurricanes are sometimes eligible for discount insurance premiums after installing impact windows.

Impact windows are constructed out of reinforced aluminum frames and powerful laminated glass. They can be produced in many different architectural styles, including single hung, horizontal, casement, and picture windows.
