So what makes hurricane impact resistant windows different from regular windows? Hurricane impact resistant windows are made of laminated glass, which consists of two or more panes that has clear plastic-like film between each pane and then it is all bonded together. The layering of materials and their thickness is what helps these windows withstand hurricane force winds and flying debris. Hurricane impact resistant windows can break however, they will not break completely. In the event of a broken window, the plastic interlayer holds the glass fragments in place and keeps them intact. This will prevent water, wind or flying debris from entering through the window and into a home or other structure. Any window labeled “impact resistant” must undergo testing on the glass, frame, attachment hardware, as well as the installation method. It must be approved for wind load and wind-borne debris, and be able to stop a two by four fired at 50 feet per second.
