Pennsylvania experiences a range of weather, from severe thunderstorms and high winds in the warmer months to heavy snow and ice during winter. While not directly in the hurricane zone, the potential for significant wind damage and flying debris during severe storms makes impact windows a worthwhile investment. Our installation process begins with a detailed assessment of your existing windows and your home's overall structure. We then take precise measurements for custom-fit impact windows engineered for Pennsylvania's climate. The installation involves the professional removal of old windows, thorough preparation of the openings, and secure anchoring of the new impact-resistant frames. We finish by ensuring all seals are airtight and weatherproof.
Impact-rated windows are tested to withstand specific wind speeds and projectile impacts. The rating indicates the window's ability to resist damage from debris during a storm. Look for products that meet or exceed Florida Building Code standards, often considered a benchmark for impact resistance in the industry.
The cost of hurricane impact windows is influenced by factors like window size, type of frame material, and the complexity of the installation.
