Every blog needs a topic to serve as the over-arching connection between the posts. For this blog, we chose the topic of construction and contractors. We have a few reasons for that choice. For one, we wanted a topic that would appeal to a lot of people. Most people have hired a contractor or will hire one at some point, so that means the topic applies to a large audience. Our other goal was to choose a topic that we could write a lot about. That certainly applies to the field of contracting. After all, everyone from painters to road workers belongs to this industry.
Without further ado, welcome to our blog. Enjoy what you read!

Are Impact Windows Easy to Break?
The most desired quality about impact windows is their ability to stay intact during situations in which other windows might shatter. For example, when there are storms that cause debris to fly in the air from strong wind speeds, it can lead to windows getting damaged. However, such storms are not as big of a threat to a home that has impact windows installed, which can save a homeowner money on repairs. Another benefit is that impact windows are also strong enough to make it difficult for burglars to break. Basically, your house will be more secure by installing such windows and your family might feel safer as a result.
Does the Glass Protect Against UV Light?
Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun is something that not only people should stay protected from, but also their belongings. When UV light comes through the windows in a house, it can cause a lot of damage to various things. For example, UV light can cause fabric on furniture to fade, as well as art that is hanging on the walls and carpet. With impact windows installed, the glass will add a barrier of protection to prevent UV light from coming through and causing damage to your house. You will also be protected against UV light if you are sitting near a window that has the sun shining through it.
How Does Impact Windows Affect Insurance?
If you get impact windows installed to replace the damaged ones, it can have a positive effect on your insurance premium. After installation, you can let your home insurance provider know that they are installed and they might lower your premium. The reason why is because of the protection that they provide, which makes your house less of a risk for having to file a claim.
