High Impact windows offer the homeowner the convenience of not putting up shutters and can have some added benefit in insulation. The drawbacks are that they are quite a bit more expensive then shutters and the glass can still crack from impact caused by flying debris. This makes it very costly to replace after a storm. Impact glass is also a fire hazard since firemen cannot penetrate through the glass easily.
