Wind load refers to the pressure exerted on various structures due to wind. These numbers can either be positive or negative. When wind forces act towards a structure, they are positive pressures. Conversely, negative wind pressures act away from a structure. We test our impact-resistance windows for both positive and negative wind pressures, and wind load calculations refer to both of these pressures. Structural engineers use wind load calculations to design specific solutions for different structures. Our team utilizes wind load calculations to ensure all of our windows not only meet but exceed potential wind forces from a hurricane for your home or business.

The main concept behind our impact windows is shatter-resistant glass that is both properly fitted and secured. The same thing that makes them hurricane resistant also makes them an excellent deterrent for burglars. We install windows with two layers of glass or vinyl with a sturdy membrane in between. If one window pane shatters, the other remains in intact due to the protection from the membrane in the middle. On the other hand, it is much easier to break through standard windows, as small fractures usually compromise the entire window. Therefore, our impact-resistant windows make it much more difficult for intruders to break into your home through the means of a broken window.

It all depends on the condition of your current window sills and how your existing windows were originally installed. Most non-impact windows have much smaller aluminum frames. Therefore, it is likely we will have to remove the old window frame to install the new impact-resistant windows, especially if the old windows were installed directly next to the frame. However, in some instances, there is enough space in between to install the new windows without removing the old frame. This is obviously a case by case basis, and we will have to formally inspect your windows before we know whether we have to replace the old frame or not.
