These weather events can bring high winds and the risk of flying debris, posing a significant threat to standard residential windows.

What affects the price

When you look at the price of impact windows, the biggest factor is usually the size and type of your window openings. Custom shapes, specific frame materials like aluminum or vinyl, and the thickness of the laminated glass will shift the total significantly. You also have to consider the installation process; replacing a window in a high-rise condo is much different than a ground-floor home. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
