The Benefits of Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors
Engineered to protect your family from hurricane-force winds and other severe weather, WinGuard® impact-resistant windows and doors also offer additional benefits to increase the comfort, security, and beauty of your home. Our impact glass provides extra protection from would-be intruders and noise pollution while offering potential long-term savings.
Why Impact?

Hurricane Protection
Hurricane-force winds and flying debris can be extremely destructive. With impact-resistant windows like the ones we make at PGT®, damaged glass remains secure in the frame to keep your home and loved ones safe.

Return on Investment
Impact windows and doors have proven to be a good investment. While they can potentially boost energy efficiency and home value while possibly lowering insurance premiums, they also offer a sense of security that’s priceless.

Energy Efficiency
Some vinyl products can be ENERGY STAR® rated when upgraded to laminated insulating glass, low-E, and argon filled.

Home Security
Impact windows and doors serve as a deterrent against would-be intruders. Even if struck, our laminated glass is constructed to resist penetration and prevent any breach. It’s 24/7 peace of mind.

Sound Reduction
Quiet is comfort, and it’s a popular added benefit of our hurricane windows and doors. Impact glass absorbs noise and can reduce common outdoor sounds, from barking dogs to traffic.

UV Defense
The interlayer in PGT’s laminated and laminated insulated glass generally filters 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays*, reducing heat buildup in your home and saving cooling costs.
