Benefits of Impact Windows

Living in Florida means sunshine and beaches, but it also means tropical storms and hurricanes. Once high-winds arrive, impact windows can be the only factors standing between you and total disaster. But apart from the most obvious benefit of protecting your home from blowing apart during a storm, impact windows also carry several other benefits:

1. Energy efficiency

Impact windows are much more energy-efficient than normal windows. They serve to maintain the temperature inside your home, so you will pay less on both heating and cooling bills. In the long run, the impact windows can also extend the life of your AC unit.

2. Increased protection

Although they might look like regular windows at a glance, hurricane impact windows are constructed with reinforced materials and several layers of glass – making them hard to breach in normal situations. If they are able to keep a hurricane out, burglars stand absolutely no chance.

3. Noise reduction

Another welcome benefit for many homeowners is the noise reduction qualities offered by impact windows. If you live near a busy intersection, a school, or any other noisy place, the noise reduction offered by impact windows will leave you undisturbed by your neighbor mowing the lawn while his dog is barking.

4. Insurance discounts

Most insurance providers offer premium discounts if you install impact-resistant windows in your home, so it’s always worth it to find out from your insurance provider what type of discounts they offer. The savings on insurance could offset the cost to install impact windows over time.

5. Increase the value of your home

Although more expensive normal windows, hurricane windows add to your home’s value and will often help to make the sale quicker if you’re ever in the market as they not only look good, but the added benefits are very attractive to home buyers.

Greener Living with Green Windows by SIW

SIW has made a statement in the window industry and called for the window manufacturing industry to be more environmentally responsible. Vinyl windows are still being produced regardless of the fact that they are unsafe for the environment or homeowners. Perhaps the largest danger of manufacturing vinyl products is the release of carcinogen dioxin into the air when vinyl is burnt on landfills. Vinyl is impossible to recycle… And that’s exactly why SIW has taken on the responsibility of manufacturing “greener” products with less impact on the environment.
