Idaho's climate presents unique challenges for window performance. Spring can bring significant wind gusts, and the risk of hail, though less frequent than in some southern states, still exists. These events can cause physical impact to glass. Our impact windows are engineered to withstand these forces, offering protection beyond standard glazing. The installation involves removing existing window units and fitting the new impact-resistant frames and glass, ensuring a tight seal against air and water infiltration.
