Ohio experiences a continental climate with cold winters and warm, humid summers. While not prone to hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, derechos, and strong winds can occur, especially during spring and summer months. These weather events can generate high winds carrying debris, posing a risk to standard windows. Our impact windows are built to resist these forces, providing a more robust defense against windborne objects. The replacement process involves assessing your home's exposure and selecting appropriate window specifications to handle local weather threats.
Permitting for window replacements in Ohio can vary by municipality. While not always mandatory for standard replacements, upgrading to impact-resistant windows often triggers specific building code reviews and may require a permit.
