Impact Window Installation

If you live in areas where high winds, hurricanes and other storms are common, consider new windows from The Home Depot. Benefits of replacement impact windows include:

• Multiple contact points between frames and sashes to block air and water
• Maximum impact glass system to protect against wind penetration
• Non-permanent, roll-formed hurricane panels installed on an extruded track system or fastened with anchors
  
  

When dangerous storms threaten, you can also take advantage of heavy-duty easy-care, installed aluminum shutters that eliminate the need to add panels.
