The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Impact glass has a tough plastic layer between two panes of glass, so even when it cracks, it stays in place. Paired with strong frames and proper anchoring, it protects the home from flying debris, and it also adds security and sound control.

Ratings and local rules vary, so we explain what impact ratings mean, which apply in your area and how installation and anchoring contribute. We are honest that no product is storm-proof, but the right system helps a great deal.

Stays together when hit
