Key features of impact windows that enable them to withstand Category 5 conditions:
- Multiple layers of glass are bonded together with a durable plastic interlayer. This prevents the glass from shattering when impacted by debris, instead causing it to crack but remain intact.
- Impact windows are designed to withstand high wind loads and are typically rated for design pressures of 50 or higher, which corresponds to Category 5 hurricane winds.
- Impact windows are equipped with corrosion-resistant hardware to ensure long-term durability and resistance to damage from saltwater and other corrosive elements.
- Heavy-duty frames are designed to withstand the pressure and impact forces of a hurricane, preventing bowing or warping.
- Proper installation is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of impact windows. Installation professionals ensure that the windows are securely anchored and sealed to prevent water intrusion and leaks.
