A leading provider of new and replacement windows, Weather Shield Windows and Doors lets homeowners choose from hundreds of manufacturers to find the right product for their space. To accommodate the needs of homeowners in hurricane-prone areas, Weather Shield Windows and Doors offers hurricane impact windows and doors.
Between 1995 and 2004, hurricanes caused damages in excess of $198 billion, much due to impact fractures, such as broken windows or failed doors. Hurricane impact windows and doors feature heavy-duty, impact-resistant glass that includes a strong laminated layer to provide an extra layer of protection between the storm and glass windows.
During heavy winds, pressurized air can enter a home and find low-pressure pockets of space, where it expands and becomes forceful enough to blow a roof off. The durable interlayer in hurricane impact windows and doors, which can withstand impact from flying debris, can reduce the likelihood of an impact fracture during heavy winds. Because pressurized outside air is less likely to get inside the home, structural failure is also less of a risk.
