All American Windows & Doors: Protection from Theft and Burglary

High impact doors and windows are protecting properties from damage caused by acts of vandalism and storms. These door and window applications offer unparalleled performance in the inclement weather conditions where brute force and debris can cause severe damage to the structure.

What are high impact doors or windows?

Storm doors and windows meet a need for added protection from property damage resulting from a storm, theft and burglary. These windows are built to withstand all types of conditions. PVB interlayers embedded between two layers fortify the applications, which reduce the chances of the window from getting damaged at high impact.

Why do people choose high impact windows and doors?

Burglars are more likely to enter a home through an unsecured door or by smashing a window. The outstanding, durable windows prevent people from gaining unauthorized access through windows, which are normally smashed with brute force when accessing a building. The resistant doors make the property less attractive for burglars. Burglars prefer entry points that are easier to force open through smashing or kicking in a door.

Energy efficient windows are weather stripped with tinting to block harmful rays from ever entering the structures. The windows are engineered to meet the most stringent regulations and specifications and have features like warm-edge spacers, low e-coating and improved framing for a tighter seal. Our windows are Energy Star certified and satisfy all local building ordinance requirements. When installing the resistant windows, one can enjoy energy savings.

The high impact and doors are engineered to withstand the toughest of conditions. These windows and doors prevent unauthorized by burglars and can limit damage in cases of vandalism. High winds hurling items toward them at high velocity cause little damage to these high performing window applications. Homeowners are making smarter choices about how best to protect their property from unwanted damage in selecting high impact windows.

Windows and Doors: The Key to Better Home Energy Efficiency

Conserving energy is not only good for the environment, but will reduce your home energy bills. The most cost-effective and efficient way to maximize energy savings is to install proper doors and windows in your home.

A good, energy efficient window or door can result in energy bill savings of up to 50 percent in some homes. This is because most indoor heating and cooling systems are only as good as the thermal envelope around the interior of the home in which they are installed. Loss of heat and/or coolness through drafts and gaps in window and door openings is the reason why many energy bills spike, and biggest waste of money for any homeowner.

New energy-efficient windows and doors will pay for themselves over their lifetime in reduced energy bills through the conservation of not only heating and cooling systems but even lighting. The key with both doors and windows is a passive solar home design, or properly selecting, orienting, and sizing glass for the maximum amount of solar heat gain in winter and the minimum amount of solar heat gain in summer.

In areas with severe storms, broken windows and doors are not only costly to replace but costly to repair. The amount of time spent fixing the damages is also the amount of time lost in maximizing energy efficiency. Installing high impact windows and doors at the start is a great way to start saving money, energy, and time.

High impact doors and windows not only reduce storm damage, but come with heavy-duty frames and extensive installation specifications that ensure that they will not blow out during a storm. These measures also, ensure that the interior thermal envelope is as tightly sealed as possible, maximizing air conditioning and heating effectiveness. The advantage of these types of doors and windows in maximizing energy savings is also clear when compared to storm installations, because even with double glass protection, the sealing method remains less efficient and effective.
