Exterior Storm Windows are designed and built for protection against heavy wind loads and flying debris. They are constructed with laminated glass inside a dual pane unit for strength and efficiency. Laminated glass is a safety glass that is resistant to flying objects; it contains an interlayer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) between the layers of annealed glass. This interlayer keeps the glass intact when broken and gives the glass a very high strength that prevents the glass from breaking up into large sharp pieces. Laminated glass is typically found in windshields of automobiles, store fronts, curtain walls and windows. The PVB interlayer also provides the glass with a very high sound insulating rating, due to the damping effect. Laminated glass was invented by Edouard Benedictus, a French chemist in 1903 and by 1939 “Indestructo” safety glass was used by the Ford Motor Company in all of their windshields.

Aluminum is a lightweight, durable, ductile and malleable metal that has been used in the construction and manufacturing industries for centuries. It is the most abundant metal found in the earth’s crust and can be machined, cast, drawn and extruded very easily.Aluminum Windows can be powder coated any color, usually come in White, Bronze, Almond and Hunter Green along with several different styles and shapes. Because of aluminum’s strength the profile is usually smaller than other windows such as vinyl and wood. Aluminum windows also come thermally broken therefore increasing their energy efficiency. In addition to a thermal break integrated inside the main frame, you can order our aluminum windows with insulated glass units with a low emissivity tint.As one of the best California installation companies of aluminum windows, California Doors and Windows has a vast selection of aluminum windows for your home.
