\"How<\/p>\n

In this post, a\u00a0<\/span>storefront windows and doors<\/span>\u00a0provider discusses the importance of impact windows and how they can add to your home security.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding Impact Windows<\/span><\/h2>\n

Laminated glass technology has long been used in car windshields. This glass fabrication method involves sandwiching two pieces of glass together with a plastic interlayer in between. When the glass is impacted, the interlayer helps to keep the glass\u00a0in place and hold it together.<\/span><\/p>\n

This process has pushed the development of more impact-resistant windows to the forefront. However, the glass is not the only consideration. Thicker glass, a thicker interlayer or both are used in some home\u00a0<\/span>impact windows and doors<\/span><\/a>. Others may even include polycarbonate as a reinforcement material.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Benefits of Impact Windows<\/span><\/h2>\n

This type of window is designed to withstand the impact of debris flying at high speeds, making it nearly impossible to break the glass using conventional methods. That said, it’s safe to say that an impact window that can handle hurricane-force winds could help withstand a person wielding a baseball bat or a hammer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Impact-resistant windows are manufactured similarly to your car’s windshield. Multiple glass layers are separated by a middle layer of plastic material that holds them in place in the event of an impact. Instead of breaking like a regular glass pane, an impact window will splinter but remain intact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
