Protect Your Home and Family With Impact Windows and Doors

Winter is the season for spending time with family. That also means considering the year-round safety of your family inside your home. While most people celebrate with poultry and presents, the holiday season increases the risk of home break-ins. Theft and home invasion become a bigger concern around the holidays, so it's an important time to plan for home security. ARMORVUE can help protect your home from burglars and other invasions by installing high-performance impact windows and doors.

Impact Windows in Stopping Break-Ins

While impact window glass resists the weather, the same strength provides profound protection against unwanted intruders. Break-ins often rely on the ability to smash glass to enter a home. For centuries, windows were the weakest element in home security because normal glass would shatter with a sharp blow. But impact glass is different.

With impact windows, would-be intruders will struggle to crack the reinforced glass, and getting through is not a welcoming experience.

Three Layers of Protection

Impact windows provide an excellent burglar defense because of the three-layer design principles. The first two layers are dense, heavy-duty panes of glass. A layer of durable and flexible polymer laminate fuses them. The protection comes from the fact that almost no human or natural force can get through all three layers, keeping your windows safe from hurricanes and home invaders.

What Cracks Won't Shatter

What happens if one of the panes is cracked? If a criminal manages a blow strong enough to crack the glass, they're in for a surprise. Impact windows don't shatter. The laminate prevents blows to the outer pane of glass from affecting the inner pane of glass. Cracked glass shards remain stuck to the laminate layer instead of falling away.

This means home invaders would have to break through two heavy-duty glass panels and push through a membrane of glass shards to get into your home. Not a welcoming prospect and one most criminals are not hardy enough to try after the "easy route" fails.

Additional Benefits of Impact Glass

Impact windows provide more than just glass and polymer layers of protection. They also have multilayered benefits including noise reduction, energy efficiency, protection from storms, the need to install cumbersome shutters or plywood, and effective resistance against home invaders.

In addition to staying strong against intentional window breaking, they resist accidents like flying baseballs for all-year family protection.

Why Impact Doors Are Crucial for Home Security

In Florida, many of our entry doors are beautiful glass panels. From patio doors to front doors, it's easy to see why impact doors are just as important as impact windows using the same triple-layer protective glass. Florida architectural styles favor glass-wall designs in which windows and doors contribute to spectacular views.

Home intruders are just as likely to try to break a glass door as glass windows, especially because impact glass in doors is sometimes overlooked. With entry doors, consider the strength of your bolts and door frames. Intruders will sometimes try and kick a door in, breaking the hardware and frame instead of the glass itself.

That is why ARMORVUE has partnered with T-Rex Door Plates for superior protection.

T-Rex Door Plate Protection

T-Rex Door Plates are a patent-pending innovative solution that provides superb reinforcement to your deadbolt and doorjamb. The design consists of three ATA galvanized steel plates. The first two frame your deadbolt, reinforcing the bolt and preventing the plate or bolt from warping when the door is struck. The third plate is installed over your doorjamb, reinforcing the hole that receives the deadbolt post so the wood or aluminum does not give way to a kick or ram strike.

This system provides more protection than a traditional reinforced frame or a multipoint plate system at a fraction of the cost. Paired with impact glass, the T-Rex mechanism provides each entry door with optimal security from the center to the doorframe to keep your family safe.
