You likely have different methods to protect your business, such as insurance and regular maintenance. However, it is a good idea to consider installing impact windows for additional protection. Impact windows are durable and strong, making them resistant to shattering. Check out these four benefits of installing impact windows in your business.

They Protect Your Investment

Impact windows are made from special glass that makes them much more durable than most windows. The glass is actually layers of tempered glass and a sheet of resin. The tempered glass ensures the windows are strong, and the resin holds the pieces together if the window does break. This means even if the window is completely shattered, it stays together as one piece, continuing to provide some protection to your business. It's a great way to protect against vandalism, theft and dangerous weather such as hurricanes.

You'll Have Full-Time Protection

If you live in an area with bad weather, such as hurricanes, you likely have hurricane shutters for your existing windows. These are placed before a storm hits, and they protect the windows and everything inside until the storm passes and you remove them. However, if you don't have time or you aren't aware a storm is coming, you may not be able to put up the hurricane shutters. Impact windows offer full-time protection without you lifting a finger.

Some Insurance Providers Offer Discounts

Your business has a lot of insurance in the event something happens, and all that insurance is costly. You may be able to reduce the cost of your business insurance by installing impact windows. Impact windows reduce the risk of damage to your business. In return to you being a lower liability, the insurance carrier will likely reduce your premium.

You May See Energy Savings

Impact windows may even affect your monthly energy spending. Keeping your business warm/cool enough is important for keeping employees happy and customers coming back. Bad windows can have leaks that allow air to escape, forcing you to use more energy to keep the inside of the building comfortable. Impact windows are naturally air-tight because they are designed to protect. As a result, less air escapes through the windows, and you may be able to use less energy to keep the temperature inside just right.

You may think your business is fully protected, but there are always more steps you can take to better secure your investment. If you are interested in impact windows for your business, contact a window contractor in your area today, such as at The Screen Shop, to get a quote.
