Why choose our impact windows?
Our impact resistant windows will provide your home with the highest level of protection from intruders, storms and wind-borne debris. With impact windows, insurance costs go down and they can also help reducing your energy bills by reflecting outside heat and regulating the temperature.
Besides protecting your home from exterior damage, impact windows provide protection from UV light, which causes damages to fabrics, artwork and other goods.
WINDOW & DOOR ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS
The glass that we use for our impact windows is laminated. It consists of two panes of glass that can be: heat-strengthened, annealed or tempered.
We bond these glasses together with a special interlayer film.
The most common glass thicknesses we utilize:



Choose between this two interlayer options:
PVB – Polyvinyl Butyral. This is the industry standard interlayer.
SGP – SentryGuard Plus This is a new enhanced Interlayer.
PVB Interlayer film

What is Polyvinyl butyral (or PVB)?
Polyvinyl butyral (or PVB) is a resin mostly used for applications that require strong binding, optical clarity, adhesion to many surfaces, toughness and flexibility. It is prepared from polyvinyl alcohol by reaction with butyraldehyde. The major application is laminated safety glass for automobile windshields.
What is the standard thickness of PVB interlayer?
The standard and minimum interlayer is 0.38mm thick, but it is also available in 0.76, 1.14 or 1.52mm. All interlayer thicknesses pass the Grade A safety glass test and 1.52mm is also used for Anti Bandit Glass.
SGP Interlayer film

What is an SentryGlas Plus (or SGP)?
SGP (SentryGlas Plus) is another popular security interlayer used in laminated glass, with increased strength and security. Heat soaked and toughened glass can be incorporated into the laminated glazing to create a secure pane that will be tough to break and even tougher to break through.
What is the standard thickness of PVB interlayer?
The standard and minimum interlayer is 1.52 mm (60 mil) interlayers are specified as the standard thickness for minimally supported applications.
The interlayer film bond between the glass adds the required strength to be considered and Impact-resistant glass.
Main differences between PVB and SGP
1. The vast majority of impact windows are produced with PVB interlayer..
2. PVB Interlayer is less expensive than SGP Interlayer..
3. Glass with SGP Interlayer stands by himself with no frame when broken..
4. SGP is 5 times stronger than PVB..
5. SGP is 100 stiffer than PVB..
6. Glass made with SGP interlayer is clearer than glass made with PVB Interlayer

LOW E (Low Emissivity)
Why do they work?
The Low-E glass windows were created to filter visible light from infrared light (heat) and UV light.
– It minimizes the amount of infrared (heat) and ultraviolet light that comes through your glass, without reducing the amount of light that enters your home.
– They are much more energy-efficient, helping you save on heating and cooling costs.
– The coating consists of a microscopic layer of metallic oxides that get placed between the panes of your double or triple pane windows.
We offer the following Low-E Glass coatings:
Solarban® 60 (SB60): More daylight in, making living spaces more inviting and energy-efficient. With the sun reflection, it gives off a blue/purple color.
Solarban 70® (SB70): Gives today’s homeowners the ultimate solar control glass on the market. With the sun reflection, it gives off a green color.
