Residents and business owners dwelling in coastal regions of the Atlantic, are threatened by the impact of devastating hurricanes and tropical storms every year. These storms can cause tremendous property loss, with a large amount of damage caused from wind-borne debris such as tree limbs, signs, roof tiles, etc. It is vital to protect your property from such debris as it penetrates windows and doors, allowing wind to enter the structure which is not designed to withstand such wind forces and often lifting the roof or pushing out the walls, causing them to fall. Aside from the damage caused by the wind, rain and water damage can be extremely severe and leave your home uninhabitable and resulting in a total loss of its contents.
Impact-resistant windows and doors are especially designed and carefully engineered withstand the wind force of these dangerous storms and impact from flying debris. They typically consist of impact-resistant glass, which are reinforced by heavy-duty frames with are securely fastened to the interior frame. Their sturdy design undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that your property is protected from winds and debris penetrating your homes outer envelope.
