While a tropical storm is whipping round the
corner, it is time to decide whether you need to
purchase new windows or not. Do not make hasty
decisions because you might end up in making a
wrong move, and might not get the same level of
protection that you require. Do not just go by
the price of any window, but prior to that, you
should consider your needs. Proper research is
the key to success. If you dont have enough
information, it is easy to make a wrong choice.
However, here are some tips through which you can
buy the best impact windows.

1. Hurricane proof
These impact resistant windows offer some form of
protection against the hurricanes. This means
that the glasses might break, but they will
resist the strong winds to create pressure on the
interior of your building. Well, many people
mistake these windows by thinking that these are
unbreakable.
Any window glass will break, but you can always
get them repaired.

2. Going for old ones
It is not always necessary to go for new windows.
You might go very well with your old windows
after weatherizing the same. This in turn might
even help you save on the overall amount of
energy consumption. You might even find that you
will not require new windows, at all. Even if,
your windows are old, they might be in a good
condition.
3. Using shutters on windows
If you live on the beach, it is always wise to go
for impact windows. This in turn will prevent the
etching of glass by sands or rocks driven by
winds. Some insurance companies might specify you
the need to shutter the windows so that you
cannot claim for any wind related damage for your
windows.

4. Repairing or Replacing
When you invest on the windows, you should check
out the cost of the replacement parts. In
addition to that, you might even find that no
replacement parts are available for the same.
This means that windows with broken springs or
broken seals will not be repaired. Hence, you
will have to buy new windows again. Check out
with the specifications of manufacturers to find
out whether repairing or replacing is a good
option.

5. Go for good frames

• Good quality frames made of aluminum are of
  stronger and durable. These frames are definitely
  more long lasting than the PVC frames. This in
  turn will far outweigh the energy benefits, as
  well.
• You can expect the services of aluminum to last
  for about 50 years while PVC frames might last
  for 20 years. Hence, you will get value for money
  with the painted or powder coated aluminum
  frames.
• You should not forget to check with your local
  building code and insurance company about the
  level of storm protection required in your area.
  On the basis of that, you can get discounts on
  your impact windows.
