Hurricane Impact Windows
We are often asked which window is the right window for the job. What people are really asking is which window meets the regulations for my area, is cost effective, and superior in quality. We understand that our clients want to have the best, safest, efficient, and coded windows for the best price. As a wholesale hurricane window and impact window distributor and installation company, we use only the very best. Because we deal directly with the manufacturer, we are able to buy hurricane windows and impact windows at wholesale costs and pass those savings directly to our customers.

Showcase 143 Impact Window Features Protection From Break-Ins By Vandals, Burglars and Weather: Repeated blows from bats, crowbars, hammers or bricks may cause the glass itself to crack. The PVB interlayer holds the glass together and the pane within the frame, making access to the house interior difficult. In a hurricane, the integrity of the window is not compromised. Meets ASTM F-1223 (class 1) forced entry standard. Shielding From Ultraviolet Rays: All things tend to fade when subjected to prolonged sun exposure. The laminated insulating glass in the 143 Window Series helps protect fabric, furniture and other items in a home from degradation by blocking the majority of UV rays, while still allowing light to shine through. Greatly Reduced Sound Transmission: Acoustic studies show reductions of up to 50% in the transmission of outside noise, compared to ordinary glass. This makes for a more peaceful and restful home, regardless of location. Proven Resistance to Penetration From Flying Debris: Standardized missile testing shows our windows resist repeated blows by a 9 pound, 10 Ft, 2×4 beam traveling at 34 mph. They have resisted wind velocities of 171.54 mph. No need for ungainly plywood, or telltale metal shutters. Meets CPSC, CFR 1201 and ANSI Z97.1 safety glazing standards. ENERGY STAR® Performance: In order to reduce solar heat gain intake and reduce heating and cooling costs throughout the year, the 143 Window Series meets ENERGY STAR® requirements. We are always hard at work refining our products and developing new ones. Because of this, the specifications for our products may change without notice. Actual products may differ slightly from those featured in our photographs and illustrations.
