How Impact Windows Secure Your Home for All Scenarios

The summer hurricane season is only a few months away. Now is an important time to consider how you can safeguard your home and your family from bad weather and other risks. Summers get hotter and storms intensify every year. Florida residents are focusing on home improvements like impact windows to secure their homes from storm damage and keep their families safe.

At ARMORVUE, we will help you make your home more secure with impact windows and doors. You can safely take shelter as each hurricane and tropical storm passes over your city. Let us explain how impact windows and doors make the difference between storm damage and safety at home.

Impact Windows Secure Your Home and Family

Hurricane season occurs between June and November. During this time, many Florida families remain constantly worried that they might experience storm damage, especially broken windows, from the wind and debris of another storm. Impact windows and doors ease that worry by minimizing the risk.

Impact windows are made with layers of plastic film and dense glass. Together, flying debris and even patio furniture can bounce off your windows in a storm while your home remains dry and secure.

Each impact window adds to the protection of your house, especially during hurricane season. High-speed winds, driving rain, and flying debris all stay on the outside while your family remains safe and cozy inside your home. Impact windows increase the bounce factor, deflecting all but the largest debris, and they don't shatter.

Even if an impact window is cracked, the integral plastic film will keep the window intact. It will continue to block most wind and rain while also preventing any glass from showering your living space.

Energy Efficiency

Of course, storms aren't the only concern for Floridian homeowners. During these hotter months of the year, the bright sun challenges every home's cooling capabilities. Energy efficiency is a must to minimize the cost of AC electricity bills. This is especially true when choosing new windows for your home.

Fortunately, the inherent design of impact windows and doors is also energy-efficient. The layers of plastic film between glass panes increase the R-value insulation quality of each impact window. The film itself filters some amount of UV light. Together, this ensures that impact windows and doors keep the worst of the summer heat out of your house. The glass does not heat up easily and will add to your home's insulation.

Impact windows and doors are also tightly sealed into place to keep out driving rain, and this effectively keeps out air drafts as well. Together, these factors ensure that any home with impact windows and doors will be more energy-efficient because the windows are so resistant to the summer sun. You can pay less for AC and enjoy a more comfortable home environment.

Security and Noise Reduction

Lastly, impact windows and doors provide a peaceful home by increasing your home security and reducing noise transference. Impact windows secure your family from intruders by the simple fact that normal human force cannot break the windows, and impact doors are even more impervious with heavy, high-durability layers and security features. You don't have to worry about classic burglar tricks. After all, if your windows can repel flying patio furniture, a burglar doesn't stand a chance.

The layered nature of the windows will even reduce the street noise that enters your home, so you can sleep more deeply and enjoy a peaceful lifestyle even when there are noisy activities outdoors.
