Windows Can Stand Up To Strong Winds And Prevent Intruders Or Looters
Are you worried that your windows may break in the case of a storm or strong winds? At Jim Oliviers Home Improvements, we can provide the perfect solution – impact-resistant glass. Not only will this better protect you from looters and intruders, it will also give you peace of mind during bad weather that your windows are less likely to be damaged. Doing this in combination with high quality window shutters can be part of protecting your home even in the most dire circumstances.
Be Prepared For A Storm Before It Arrives
Every year as the storm season approaches Acadiana neighbors rush to stores to buy boards and nails to protect their windows and doors. When the storms arrive, they hunker down and hope that their last-second efforts are enough to provide the protection they need. Then, after the storm, they go out and remove all the boards again – only to repeat the same thing when the next storm comes.
The Many Advantages Of Impact-Resistant Glass
Impact-Resistant Glass Can Help Prevent Looters
After storms, there are often looters searching for easy ways to enter and steal from homes and businesses that were damaged. Impact-resistant glass is far less likely to break during a storm than traditional windows, and even if they break, they still maintain a strong barrier that works to prevent intruders from entering your home.
Glass Doesn’t Shatter And Cause Additional Dangers Or Damage
Windows with impact-resistant glass can endure far more than traditional glass windows. Our impact resistant glass is specially developed to withstand the strong winds that come so often to our community.  This means you won’t see glass scattered all over your floors and carpets after a storm.
Intruders Have A VERY Hard Time Breaking Through
Criminal intruders often creep in through a broken glass window or door. With the impact-resistant glass in your windows, intruders often just turn away and find an easier target. We put the glass to a test: we asked one of our strongest team members to try and make a hole through one of these impact-resistant glass windows, and the results were jaw-dropping. He had a big crowbar and beat on the window again and again, and the glass cracked but never allowed him to breakthrough. If a criminal is trying to break into a home, these windows will create a tremendous defense for your home and your loved ones.
Providing additional protection from criminals that can enter when you’re asleep or not at home. When dealing with your home safety, it’s always best to prevent the criminal from choosing your home in the first place. Impact-resistant glass can help prevent crimes from happening to you.
With these windows, your family and your possessions are far more protected than if you have traditional windows. They are tough. They are durable. They can mean the difference between your home being robbed or worse.
The Secret To These Ultra-Strong Windows Is In Their Unique Construction
The genius of these windows begins with their design and construction. We begin with two layers of tempered, laminated glass and position them so that they are separated by a very thin air layer. The tempered glass can better absorb a forceful impact, so it is less likely to crack or shatter.
If someone were to spend all the time and effort necessary to break through one of these windows, the tempered glass will not shatter into jagged, sharp pieces. The tempered glass tends to eventually break into granular chunks that are far less likely to cause injury.
