Common questions
Do you need to board up hurricane impact windows?
No, impact windows are designed to withstand severe weather events without the need for boarding. Their robust construction, featuring laminated glass, resists impacts from wind-borne debris, offering continuous protection for your Pennsylvania home.
Can you install impact windows yourself?
While some homeowners may attempt DIY window installation, impact windows require precise fitting and secure anchoring to ensure their protective capabilities. Professional installation by StormWindows Pros is recommended for homes in Reading and surrounding areas to guarantee optimal performance and structural integrity.
Do you need a permit to install impact windows?
Permit requirements can vary by local municipality within Pennsylvania. We manage the necessary permit applications for installations in Philadelphia and other covered locations. This ensures your project complies with all applicable local building codes and regulations.
How much does one impact window cost?
The cost of an individual impact window is determined by its dimensions, style, and specific impact-resistant features. Frame material and glass composition also contribute to the price. For an accurate cost assessment for your Pennsylvania home, we provide a free phone quote.
What is an impact window?
An impact window is constructed with a strong interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB), bonded between two panes of glass. This design allows the window to absorb impact energy from high winds and debris, preventing it from shattering and protecting the interior of your Pennsylvania home.
How does the weather in Pennsylvania affect impact window costs?
Pennsylvania's climate, with its potential for severe thunderstorms and strong winds, makes impact windows a practical investment. The specific wind zone your property is located in, a factor we assess during our free quote process, will influence the type of impact window recommended and thus its cost.
