Energy-Efficient Impact Windows · IG + Low-E · Solarban 70

Impact protection that also lowers your AC bill.

High-impact aluminum windows dramatically outperform traditional single-pane glass by utilizing engineered, multi-layered glazing packages designed to control thermal transfer — slashing indoor cooling demands in hot coastal climates and significantly lowering monthly electricity costs.

Built for Florida

Hurricane-rated, end-to-end.

Every energy-efficient impact window we install is Miami-Dade certified. The polymer interlayer in laminated impact glass filters up to 99% of UV rays and dampens outside sound — and with Insulated Glass (IG) units and Solarban 70 Low-E coatings, the same window actively slashes cooling loads.

Engineered glazing technology

Far beyond single-pane. A system designed to reject heat.

Standard regular glass windows offer virtually no insulation and let solar heat radiation pass freely into a building. High-impact aluminum windows use engineered, multi-layered glazing packages designed to control thermal transfer at every level — structural impact protection, UV filtration, insulated air space, and advanced Low-E coating working together as one system.

Hurricane Replacement

Designed to replace existing frames without structural work — which means the full glazing upgrade (IG unit + Solarban 70) installs into any opening quickly. The fastest path from single-pane to energy-efficient in an existing home.

Energy efficiency FAQ

Common questions.

How do impact windows reduce heat gain compared to standard glass?
Standard single-pane glass lets solar heat radiation pass freely. High-impact aluminum windows use multi-layered glazing — laminated glass with a polymer interlayer, an insulated sealed air space (IG unit), and a Low-E coating — that together control thermal transfer and dramatically reduce indoor heat gain.

What is an Insulated Glass (IG) unit?
An IG unit traps a sealed insulating air space between the laminated glass outboard pane and a secondary glass inboard pane. This sealed cavity significantly reduces heat conduction through the window assembly, lowering cooling demands in hot coastal climates.

What is a Low-E coating and what does Solarban 70 do?
Solarban 70 is an advanced Low-E coating — an invisible, microscopically thin metallic layer that reflects the sun’s intense infrared heat radiation away from the building while still allowing high amounts of natural visible light to stream through, without darkening the interior.

Do impact windows filter UV rays?
Yes. The dense polymer interlayer in laminated impact glass inherently filters out up to 99% of UV rays — protecting interior furnishings, flooring, and artwork from fading. This is a secondary benefit alongside its primary structural impact protection.

Do energy-efficient impact windows lower electricity bills?
Yes. By reflecting infrared heat with Low-E coatings and insulating with IG units, these systems significantly lower monthly electricity costs in hot coastal climates. West and south-facing rooms that take direct afternoon sun see the most immediate impact on cooling bills.

Which brand, for this priority

One line is designed around this.

If energy performance is why you are on this page, Eco Window Systems is the roster member built for it: Low-E coatings and laminated insulating glass are how the line is specified by default rather than an upcharge late in the quote. The other three offer energy glass packages as options — PGT carries the widest choice of them.

What Sarasota neighbors say

"Knowing I'll be safe and sound."

Amazing outstanding windows. I'm already prepared for hurricane season knowing I'll be safe and sound.
