Impact-Resistant Window Styles
Thirty years ago, most homes in Florida were unlikely to have windows that could withstand hurricane-force winds. When Hurricane Andrew struck the state in 1992, it caused $25 billion in damage and was the catalyst for changing the building codes in Florida’s coastal communities.
In the beginning, impact-resistant windows were simply windows strengthened with obvious, unsightly clamps. The industry has since evolved. Today’s impact-resistant window consists of a polyvinyl plastic inner layer surrounded by two sheets of glass. The glass may shatter upon if a heavy object hits it, but it won’t break into bits making it less likely for wind to penetrate the home and cause further damages.
Window manufacturers have improved the glass and refined the design so you can’t tell an impact-resistant window from a regular window. You can have impact-resistant windows custom made to fit your home. Whether you’re looking for a traditional all-white window to contemporary shapes with colored trim, Home Performance Alliance has a DuraShield Window to fit your style and budget.
Simplicity and Style
When selecting and purchasing your windows, appearance and low-maintenance are key considerations. DuraShield windows provide a clean and fresh look while enhancing the aesthetics of your home. The double-hung window, one of the most popular options, comes with two operable sashes allowing you to enjoy cool breezes during crisp winter mornings and evenings. Plus, you can clean the exterior glass from the inside thanks to the tilt-in window sashes. Our slider and picture windows add a unique style to your home while giving you a picturesque view of the natural beauty surrounding your home.
While DuraShield special-formula vinyl frames will remain bright and clean for years (with proper maintenance), you can also upgrade to something Neat™. Neat™ glass allows for more light transmittal and less reflection than our standard Low-E glass while keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. But, the best thing about Neat™ is that it’s maintenance-free. All Neat™ windows are coated with a super-thin, durable, and permanent application of titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide. This key technology keeps your windows cleaner for longer, allowing you to look out your windows instead of washing them.
Decor Options
Our windows come in a variety of colors making a color-coordinated exterior a reality! Complement or contrast your new windows with your trim or exterior color for a beautiful and unique look. Take customization one step further with decorative grids, giving the look and feel of a divided window with the ease of a single window. Options include a flat or contoured design with a variety of colors and patterns to choose from.
Specialty Shapes
Having to choose from square- and rectangular-shaped windows are a thing of the past. Our windows are available in a variety of specialty shapes - circles, triangles, half rounds, pentagons, and more. Each window is custom built and custom fit with an airtight seal to protect and strengthen your home while enhancing its natural beauty.
Energy Efficient
Besides adding beauty to your home, DuraShield windows exceed the United States government's ENERGY STAR® standards for energy efficiency and durability. Our windows are built with state-of-the-art technology and high-end materials.
This will not only save you money on your energy bill, but it also ensures your windows will weather the storm and last for generations.
