Impact Glass Windows
If you are living in the Florida State, then you must be aware how often the properties are destroyed due to natural calamities like hurricanes, thunderstorms, hailstorms and frequent rain. Hurricanes and storms can be commonly experienced in the coastal areas, due to which the residential and commercial establishment owners face huge losses. To reduce the impact of storms, you should install impact glass windows and doors at your homes and offices. South Florida has also changed their building codes, making it mandatory for all the property owners to use storm-resistant materials during construction of homes and offices.
In the case of normal glass windows, the high-velocity winds will easily shatter the glass and make their way into the homes. This will increase the pressure inside the home, lift the roof and push the wall outward, bringing huge losses to the owners. When you install impact glass windows, the strength of the windows will increase, reducing the impact of storms and thus, protecting the homes.

Impact glass windows include two impact-resistant glasses along with a polyvinyl butyral layer between both the glass slabs.
