How Do Hurricane Windows Work?
Hurricane windows, which are also known as impact windows, are superior to traditional replacement windows in two key ways. A reinforced frame secures the window to the structure of the home and gives the glass the added support it needs, and the glass itself is a premium material that’s known as hurricane glass or laminated glass. This glass has additional polymer layers that allow it to withstand hurricane-force winds and, potentially, flying debris. The impact windows we offer meet the requirements of local building codes and also all Texas Department of Insurance requirements.
Many Benefits of Hurricane Windows
The main advantage of hurricane windows is that they won’t succumb to hurricane-force winds, and impact windows are tested to ensure that they don’t shatter even when 2x4s are hurled into them at high speeds. An ancillary benefit of impact windows is that they’re inherently energy efficient and thus improve your home’s building envelope and reduce your heating and cooling costs. You can also opt for a Low-E glass coating and other features that improve energy efficiency. Impact windows are safe and secure and available in all of the styles and with all the features offered for standard windows. These windows also enhance curb appeal, improve property value, and result in lower insurance premiums.

Who Needs Hurricane Windows?
Any homeowner who lives in one of the designated catastrophe areas identified by the state should have impact-resistant windows for safety reasons and to protect their investment. Even if you don’t live in one of those areas, impact windows are a good investment. Houston and the neighboring communities have experienced devastating storms over the years, and while these windows will cost a bit more upfront, they’ll give you peace of mind in the years ahead, and there may be ways for you to mitigate some of that cost, including a federal tax rebate and a reduction in your homeowner insurance premium.
Identifying if Your Home Already Has Hurricane Windows
A common question we get from area homeowners is how to determine if their homes already have hurricane windows, and the easiest way to identify them is a permanent mark that will be located in one of the corners. It will also indicate details like the manufacturing date and certifications. If the mark was removed during the manufacturing process, you should see a label instead. You can also set up a free consultation with us and we’ll inspect your windows and determine their grade.
The Difference Between Hurricane and Impact Windows
While the terms impact windows and hurricane windows are often used interchangeably, there is a difference when they’re used in a technical sense. Hurricane windows are designed and tested to provide a certain level of wind resistance. Impact windows are also designed and tested to provide protection from impacts, such as from flying debris.
We Are Experienced With All Types of Windows
The Window Source installs all types of windows used for homes throughout the Greater Houston area. Those include double- and single-hung windows but also awning, bay, bow, casement, garden, geometric, picture, and slider windows.
How we install your new windows
Each old window comes out with its frame, and the new one is built to the measurements of your opening. Before it goes in, we seal the opening with our Leak Shield system. That means a flashing membrane over the rough opening, butyl tape at every seam and flange, low-expansion foam in the gap between frame and wall, and a final exterior seal.
Leak Shield comes with every installation at no extra cost, and we back every installation we perform with our lifetime Leak Shield Guarantee.
We will never leave the job without ensuring you have the highest quality windows installed properly and your home is left spotless. We take pride in our work and respect your space, aiming to leave behind one of the cleanest job sites you’ve ever seen.

“I got several quotes, and Jairo was the only one who brought samples and took the time to give us a demonstration. The office stayed in communication with me every step of the way… Edwin’s installation team worked quickly and professionally.”
“Replacing my parents’ original builder-grade windows in their 25+ year old home was one of the best investments they’ve made… They’ve already noticed lower electric bills, less outside noise, and a cooler, more comfortable home that’s much easier to keep at a consistent temperature.”
