Your Questions, Answered
Hurricane Impact Window FAQs
How are hurricane windows installed?
All Window World hurricane impact windows are installed by our team of factory trained specialists.
What are hurricane proof windows?
Hurricane windows are built to withstand severe weather and storms. These windows mitigate water damage, the impact of high speed winds, and damages from flying debris.
How do you know if you have hurricane windows?
To the average observer, it might be hard to tell if you have impact resistant windows. The tell-tale signs can often be found on the glass panes themselves.
If your windows still have a label, check to see if it explicitly states whether the glass is “impact resistant.”
Check the corners of the glass for a permanent mark that indicates whether the window is made from tempered glass.
If you are unsure whether your current window is hurricane proof, contact your local professionals at Window World.
How strong are hurricane windows?
Hurricane windows from Window World are built to withstand the impact of category 5 storms with wind speeds exceeding 155mph.
Are hurricane windows tax deductible?
According to tax laws passed as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act in 2018, upgrades to homes and businesses which improve energy efficiency can be eligible for tax credits. The IRS explicitly includes replacement windows which meet Energy Star standards for energy efficiency as a qualifying upgrade.
How do you open hurricane windows?
Window World impact windows can be opened from by sliding either the top or bottom window sash.
Do hurricane windows increase home value?
Yes, hurricane windows can add value to your home in addition to potentially cutting down on insurance and energy costs.
Do I need hurricane shutters if I have impact windows?
Both products mitigate damage from storms on their own, but for optimal damage protection, we recommend using hurricane windows and shutters together.
Which are better: hurricane windows or hurricane shutters?
Erring on the side of caution, we recommend you install both hurricane windows and hurricane shutters to ensure that your home is fully protected. Having both is especially smart if you live in a hurricane-prone area.
In the event of a category 5 storm, will my hurricane windows protect me?
Yes, our hurricane windows are built to withstand the strongest of storms. They are rigorously tested for air infiltration levels and water resistance and must meet or exceed ASTM performance standards.
Do hurricane windows cost more than normal replacement windows?
The initial cost of hurricane windows is typically more expensive than standard replacement windows because they are constructed of stronger materials. This upfront investment will pay off in the long-term.
What makes Window World Hurricane Windows energy efficient?
Window World of Tampa Impact Resistant Windows are ENERGY STAR®-rated and equipped with Low-E glass to improve the performance of your window so you stay comfortable throughout every season.
