With new construction down and the hurricane season under way, window manufacturers seek to fuel the market with replacement and impact-resistant windows that also help save energy. Replacement models install into existing openings and leave window trim and framework in tact, while impact-resistant windows feature design pressure ratings, which show the amount of cyclic wind pressures they can resist.
