There are millions of home owners that have been taking advantage of a $1,500 “Tax Credit” offered for many qualified windows and doors this year. But did you know that there are a handful of manufactures that have a laminated glass package that qualifies for this tax credit as well? There is no question that upgrading your windows with laminated glass will cost more, but take a look at some of the advantages listed below.

• Added layer of resistance from home invasion and burglary attempts.
• Burglar bars can be removed to give a home or business better curb appeal.
• Most glass packages block harmful UV rays and costly energy loss.
• Reduces exterior noise caused by local airports, train traffic, and highway intersections.
• Some window manufactures offer up to a $1,000 policy to cover deductibles, if your home was burglarized through their laminated glass windows and doors.

Laminated impact glass is generally used for residential and commercial dwellings located on coastal areas. This technology was needed to keep wind borne projectiles from penetrating into a home or business during severe weather. Similar laminated glass is used for “New Construction” and “Remodeling” projects today.
