During a storm, things can go from bad to worse in a matter of minutes. With the wind howling outside and torrential rain hammering on your windows, many fears may run through your mind like — Is my family okay? Is my home intact?
Hurricane windows are engineered to be safer and withstand more extreme weather conditions and break-ins than windows with standard glass. On top of being protective, impact windows also provide excellent noise control and offer energy efficient savings.

What is hurricane glass?
If a window breaks in your home during a storm, all bets are off. High winds flowing through one broken window of your home can pressurize your home unequally and cause severe damage by lifting the roof or damaging the structure of your home. Choosing the right window material for the needs of your home's location is a crucial decision to ensure the security of your home for years to come.
If you live in a hurricane or storm-prone location, hurricane glass can be a deciding factor in the efficacy of your windows. Hurricane glass is much stronger than windows with standard glass because they have a strong but flexible polymer layer situated between two pieces of glass on your windows.
The strength of the polymer layer reinforces the glass of your windows while the flexibility of the material is able to remain intact even if your window glass is broken or shattered by high winds or flying debris, protecting the interior of your home for the remainder of the storm.
For the most effective impact resistant windows, proper installation of a heavy-duty, durable frame is necessary for preventing bending or cracking during a storm. With SuperiorPRO, our team is ready to facilitate precise installation, exceptional performance, and guaranteed quality for your storm window replacement — because we make it easy for you to choose safety, all day, every day.
3 Unbeatable Benefits of Impact Resistant Windows
When deciding between standard windows and hurricane glass, consider these three major benefits of impact resistant windows:
Security
When a home invasion or burglary happens, the point of entry is often through a window or glass-paneled door. Due to the shatter-resistant polymer layer in the hurricane glass, impact windows protect against all types of impact, including attempted break-ins, securing your home inside and out.
Noise Reduction
Early morning jackhammers, car horns, lawn mowers, and construction — on any given day, these unwelcome sounds can plague your life and disrupt your peace. Impact resistant windows naturally help with noise reduction and transmission due to their thick, three-layer makeup of glass and polymer. Unwanted noise can all be significantly reduced and even eliminated by choosing to upgrade to impact resistant windows.
Energy Efficient and Long-term Cost Savings
Replacing your standard windows with impact windows is an energy efficient choice that can yield long-term savings.
Impact windows help reflect outside heat, which regulates temperatures inside your home, ensuring that your home stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter for longer periods of time. This allows you to save with lower utility bills and may even qualify you for an Energy Star rating, earning tax credits for your energy efficiency.
Impact windows are an investment that yields long-term benefits. When looking to sell your home, having hurricane glass already installed in your home's windows will up the price of your home significantly, increasing your home's value to potential buyers.
SuperiorPRO Tip: If you live in a hurricane prone zip code, check with your insurance carrier today and inquire about rates. Insurance carriers will often offer reduced rates for homeowners if there are hurricane windows installed throughout the home.
