During a storm, if a building is breached through a broken window, wind may enter the structure and cause an increase in air pressure. This vacuum effect could lift the roof and collapse the walls. Laminated glass helps preserve the structure, keeping wind and other elements outside.
Similar to the glass used in car windshields and aircraft windows, Window Depot USA’s insulating glass features an impact-resistant plastic interlayer that is bonded between two pieces of glass under heat and pressure. The interlayer remains adhered to the glass fragments and resists penetration, even if the glass pane is broken – protecting against flying debris and hurricane-force winds. In addition, laminated glass guards against forced entry – resisting repeated impacts from hammers, bricks or similar weapons. It also helps to control unwanted outside noise from entering the home and filters out 99% of the sun’s most damaging rays that fade carpets and draperies.
Improved energy efficiency, UV rays are nearly completely blocked by the inherent properties of laminated impact glass.
Improve home security with shatter-resistances and multiple layers of glass to help improve security from storms and intruders.
Window Depot USA’s impact windows are very effective in noise reduction, and the added air space and panes of glass of an insulated impact window improves the noise reduction even further.
Window Depot USA is proud to partner with Wincore, custom manufacturer of our Triple Pane Windows & Entry Doors.
