Protect Your Home With Pella Storm Windows
We’ve all seen videos of windows getting obliterated by strong winds. Don’t let that be your home.

Storm windows protect your family and property from heavy winds and rain.
Before investing in new windows, you should understand the types of protection available.

Knowing your options empower you to make informed decisions to safeguard both your property and your family.
At BigHorn Roofing, we are committed to providing residents of Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas with the best window solutions to protect their homes from disaster. You can trust our expert installation services to ensure your windows are prepared for whatever nature throws your way.
Comparing Storm and Impact Windows
Storm windows are designed to add an extra layer of protection to your existing windows, helping your home withstand heavy rain, strong winds, and flying debris during severe weather. They improve energy efficiency by reducing drafts and heat loss while reinforcing the structural integrity of standard windows.
Impact windows, on the other hand, are built to resist high-velocity impacts from debris and hail, providing a higher level of security for your home. These windows combine shatter-resistant glass with reinforced frames, making them ideal for areas prone to hurricanes or other extreme weather events. When you know the difference, you can choose the right solution for your home.
Pella impact windows are built with special laminated glass that can absorb and resist impact from objects like hail or projectiles. Pella storm windows and impact windows are among the most trusted in the industry. Pella’s windows provide exceptional protection while maintaining aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency. It doesn’t matter if you live in a hurricane zone or an area prone to treacherous winter storms; investing in storm and impact windows is one of the best decisions you can make for your home.
