Thinking about replacing your home’s windows with impact-
resistant windows, commonly referred to as hurricane-impact 
windows? Well, if you are anything like me you probably have a 
lot of questions. There is no question that hurricane-impact 
windows have a lot of great benefits, but are they worth the 
investment? Before you pull the trigger and commit to 
spending tens of thousands of dollars you’ll want to take a 
deeper look into these benefits. You may be surprised to find 
out some of the benefits you’ve been told or read about 
impact-resistant windows are false.

What is Hurricane 
Impact Windows?
Hurricane impact windows are designed to offer year-round protection 
from high winds, water intrusion, and intruders. They are capable of 
withstanding wind speeds up to 200 miles per hour. To put it into 
perspective a category 5 hurricane has wind speeds of 157 mph and 
higher.
Much like auto safety glass, impact windows are made with laminated 
glass. When this type of glass breaks it produces spider web cracking 
instead of large shards of glass that can be sent flying. Impact windows 
are created with two panels of glass that are bonded with a clear ultra-
strong interlayer of either polyvinyl butyral or ethylene-vinyl acetate. 
They are combined with a heavy-duty frame and have a special silicone 
glazing process to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame.

Benefits of 
Hurricane Impact 
Windows

Increased Protection
The most popular reason people take the plunge and have 
impact windows installed is for added protection. Whether it’s 
flying debris during a hurricane or a burglar attempting to 
break in impact windows are difficult to penetrate. Therefore, 
they add an additional layer of protection that standard 
windows cannot provide.

Ultraviolet Protection
In addition to making your home more energy-efficient 
hurricane impact windows can block up to 99% of UV 
rays penetrating your home. In turn, impact windows will 
protect your furniture, floors, walls and artwork from 
being affected by sunlight.

Appearance
Hurricane impact windows are just that, windows, they are 
clean, sleek and streamline. So there is no need to have 
accordion shutters flanking your windows year-round or having 
to keep the ugly metal hurricane panels up for extended 
periods of time. Plus, the days of sitting in a pitch-black home 
while a hurricane approaches and you lose power will be long 
gone.

Noise Reduction
There is no such thing as noise-canceling windows, but 
hurricane impact windows can greatly decrease the level of 
noise from the outside. So if your home backs to a busy road, 
business or school you can reduce the amount of outside noise 
by having impact-resistant windows installed.

Final Thoughts
www.misterwindow.com
Hurricane impact windows have so many great benefits, but they are 
very costly. As a homeowner, it’s important to make sound decisions 
when investing any amount of money into your home.
Hurricane impact windows will certainly add value to a home, but that 
value may not be monetary.
If you decide to take the plunge and install hurricane impact windows 
make sure to hire a reputable company. Hiring a fly by night company 
that is “cheap” compared to the competition can turn into a 
nightmare. If you’re going to do it you want to make sure to do it right 
the first time.
