High Performance & High Impact Windows
Enjoy Beauty Without Compromising Your Family’s Safety
High-Performance and Impact Windows from Southern Siding & Window Company let you enjoy the beauty and casual luxury of the coastal regions without compromising your safety.
Engineered to Withstand Hurricane-Force Winds
Precision-engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds, our windows are rigorously tested and approved to meet or exceed the stringent building codes required.
Thoroughly tested for air and water resistance, as well as structural integrity, our windows will deliver unmatched strength and protection against many of the most destructive weather conditions.
A series of test impacts against the window from a “large missile” – a 9 pound wooden 2 x 4, calibrated at 50 feet per second upon release, directed against the glass. After the window passes this test, it is then subjected to positive and negative pressure for 9,000 rapid cycles up to 100% of the design pressure.
Keeps Sounds Out and Sounds In
Our impact windows also offer another very pleasing element – the laminated glass helps to absorb sound, instead of transmitting it. This feature allows for not only peace of mind, but also peace from the daily disruption of the outside world.
Engineered to Last a Lifetime
We back all High-Performance and Impact Windows with highly comprehensive coverage. It’s your assurance, through a Lifetime Limited Warranty*.
