Pinellas Country, FL impact-resistant windows are those that protect homes in the event of a storm. They are so strong that you can throw a brick against them and they won’t break. They have to be that strong or else the hurricanes would take them out with ease and do plenty of damage to your home at the same time. Many Florida residents are turning to hurricane impact resistant windows to protect their homes from the bad storms that often come through. However, there are reasons beyond storm protection for getting replacement windows of this nature. Here are a few such reasons you could use windows like these all year long:
Reason 1: Increase Your Security
Is there such a thing as feeling too safe? Not when it comes to your family. Impact windows use laminated glass and the same things that repel debris from breaking the glass will also repel intruders from being able to break the glass. Your windows are your most vulnerable part of the house at any time of the year. When you know no one can break through, you feel that much safer in every room of the house.
Reason 2: Lower Your Energy Costs
Energy bills can rise and fall as the temperatures do the same. During the hottest times of the year, they can really soar. But the impact resistant windows you install will help to even those bills out and keep them nice and low, even when the sun is beating down and the temperatures are sweltering. Impact resistant windows are strong and keep hurricane winds out. Of course, they can keep heat and humidity out as well, that only makes sense. And when you keep the outside elements out where they belong, your energy bills will reflect it.
Reason 3: Reduce UV Rays
A little sun is nice and it feels great after a few cloudy days. But you don’t want the near-constant Florida sun beating into your house all the time. UV rays are very damaging and can cause things to fade fast. Plus, those rays are downright hot. If you want natural light, but want to block out UV rays, what are the options? Impact resistant windows are the most popular choice. They allow you to leave your windows free of covers so you can have light, without getting the heat and damaging UV rays you don’t want. With the low-E coatings on their glass, you have all the best and none of the worst parts of the sun.
