Hurricane impact windows are different from other styles because they are designed to protect against hurricane-strength winds and contain layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) between the layers of glass to keep the window intact and to prevent it from shattering into shards if the window is broken.

Impact windows offer homeowners additional benefits beyond protection during a hurricane. One of the extra benefits of impact windows is they are also energy efficient. The laminated glass is made of Low-E coatings, which can contribute to reducing the amount of energy used year-round. Another benefit is that these windows can offer protection against break-ins and environmental noise. Because they don't shatter as easily as normal windows, they are far more difficult to break into. The extra insulation also is a barrier to any outside noise. Finally, hurricane impact windows can also help homeowners reduce their insurance premium costs. Some insurance companies will lower their rates if the home is outfitted with impact windows.

When it comes to window frames, many materials are available, and each has its uses. PVC and vinyl windows are very popular in North America, and they are an affordable option with good energy ratings. However, vinyl is less durable than composite options, which is a key consideration in areas with frequent extreme changes in temperature.

Aluminum frames have also gained significant popularity, but may lack aesthetic appeal, while steel frames have outstanding durability but tend to have long lead times and are more expensive. Wood is still a popular choice for high-end homes. For added durability, wood frames today are usually clad in aluminum or composite materials.

Certain features are tied to some materials and won't be available with others. When picking a material for windows, the key is to look for a balance between the style you're trying to achieve, your climate, and your desired price point.

Weather Shield draws on decades of experience to provide the highest quality products in a number of styles and material options.

Aluminum-clad windows are among the company's most sought-after product options. Aluminum-clad windows feature a protective extruded aluminum exterior encasing a wooden frame that's visible from the interior. The aluminum comes in many colors and can be made to complement most any home's style.

With wood being such a popular choice for window frames, aluminum cladding offers much of the aesthetic appeal of wood with greater durability. Moreover, the company offers aluminum-clad windows in seven different wood species and dozens of colors, providing unparalleled flexibility and variety.

With proper care, aluminum-clad wooden windows can last for decades, which makes them a highly-prized feature for new homebuyers. They also help raise a home's value substantially more than vinyl or all-aluminum windows.

Among its specialty products are impact-resistant windows, which some people mistakenly assume are the same as double-pane windows. Here are answers to some common questions surrounding impact-resistant windows.

Q: What is an impact-resistant window?
A: Impact-resistant windows have a special type of glass that's heat-strengthened and tempered and then bonded between two panes. If an object strikes the glass with enough force to break the , the windowpane will remain in the frame rather than shatter into many pieces.

Q: Why would I need impact-resistant windows?
A: Homeowners in regions subjected to extreme weather conditions such as tornadoes or hurricanes can benefit from impact-resistant windows, since these provide greater protection from flying debris.

Q: Do impact-resistant windows stop intruders?
A: No glass will stop a determined intruder from entering your home, but impact-resistant windows will prove more challenging to break and make forced entry much more difficult.

A family-owned company in Medford, Wisconsin, Weather Shield Windows and Doors employs 1,900 individuals and offers an extensive line of windows and doors. To increase the weather resistance and improve energy efficiency in its products, Weather Shield Windows and Doors utilizes an innovative Frame Technology.

Because a home loses much of its heat through windows and doors, inefficient fittings can be costly. According to research conducted by the Department of Energy, heat gain and loss from windows account for 25 to 30 percent of the heating and cooling energy use in a home. The TriCore™ Frame Technology aims to improve efficiency through the use of a fusion-welded subframe that allows several materials to work together in a single window frame. The system creates a thermal barrier that fully prevents the transfer of heat and cold from outside to inside the home.

By using moisture-resistant materials along with thick subframe components, the TriCore Frame Technology reduces weathering, prevents water from entering the home, and improves the general structural performance of the windows.
