Behind The Cost Of Impact Windows

You may have heard the “hype” around hurricane impact windows by now. It’s no secret the price point for them tends to be a bit higher than your traditional home window. Learn what is behind the cost of impact windows.

Behind The Cost Of Impact Windows

Don't let surface numbers fool you

Even though you may pay a little more upfront for impact windows, outside of the assured protection of your family, you actually save money, month to month, in the long run. So, don’t let the surface numbers fool you! But, just in case they do, we will outline what actually drives the cost behind impact windows, allowing you to make a proper decision on getting them installed in your home.

Driving factor #1: Size of the opening

The larger the window or door, the thicker and stronger the glass needs to be to perform when tested for impact resistance. Think of it as a beam. The longer the span the bigger the beam needs to be to hold the same load.

Driving Factor #2: Type of window

Fixed windows, casements and awnings are often the most expensive type of window because one piece of glass covers the entire window. Single hungs and horizontal rollers have two or more pieces of glass in each window that allow the glass to be less strong to cover the same size opening.

Driving Factor #3: Customizations

Custom grid patterns can move the needle on cost quite a bit due to the manual process required to create the template and prep assembly. Custom colors are often very costly due to the downtime required to prep assembly and run the order through the production line.

Functionality also plays into the cost.

Even though the dimension are the same, casement & awnings have more moving parts/hardware so they are more expensive than fixed windows. The same for double hung relative to a single hung.

The window ordering and install process went very well. Pony did a great job of orchestrating the install date despite having a very narrow install window to work with. Kept me informed of progress. Andrew was my install leader and did a superb job. He was on top of the install at all times. Worked problems as they arose and came up with creative solutions to keep the project moving. Andrew made sure the job site was cleaned up at the end of each day, worked around my schedule, and took a personal interest in making sure the job was done right. I love the windows. They look great and I feel safer with them installed. I would definitely recommend this company and Andrew, in particular. Thanks for a great job guys!

Mister Window did an awesome job on my window installation. They installed 5 windows in about 6 hours, and everything was clean as can be when they finished. The team of Andrew, Hugo, and Joe were terrific. They even worked around my crazy puppy all day"
