What makes a window impact-resistant?
The window is made with impact glass consisting of a strong laminated interlayer bonded between two panes of annealed, heat-strengthened, or tempered glass. When struck by a forceful object the glass resists shattering. (I.e. the front window of an automobile) When impact glass is struck it spider webs and stays together as one piece. This prevents water from intruding into the home even if the glass was to crack.
