Tempered Glass: Reliable Protection Against the Elements

According to the IIBHS (Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety), New Jersey is at risk of hurricane, wildfire, winter weather, and flood. As you start the year, make sure your home is prepared for any of these extreme conditions. Buying window replacement in New Jersey with reinforced glass, such as tempered glass, is one of the things you can do.

Tempered glass, a type of heat-treated glass, is about four to five times stronger than regular glass. It has a greater edge and/or surface compression than untreated glass. Windows with this type of glass offer more value for your money, as you enjoy the following benefits:

Durability

You can benefit from tempered glass during extreme weather conditions. It can resist wind and impact. You can be sure that it won’t break easily during severe weather.

Safety

Safety is one of the best features of tempered glass. If it breaks, it won’t break into sharp pieces; rather it will break into smaller, rounded pieces. You can then simply vacuum the pieces. You won’t have to worry about getting injured, particularly when it shatters.

Peace of Mind

It’s more durable than most types of glass so you know that you’re investing on a part of your home that’s going to last a long time. You won’t have to worry about spending on replacement windows in the near future. Paired with Fibrex®, our composite material for frames, you’ll have beautiful windows that last.
