The Armor Impact Plus™ (AIP) Glass System

Gorell’s newest glass option has passed stringent testing to certify that it will help protect your home against airborne debris and strong winds from storms and other forms of violent weather. This system, available on select Gorell window models, eliminates the need for expensive, difficult-to-install and unsightly hurricane shutters and offers numerous advantages and benefits to homeowners.

  • Helps keep projectiles from penetrating your home.
  • Gives you valuable time for taking necessary action when violent weather warnings are issued because no window preparation is required.
  • Lets you enjoy daylight in your home in the event of power outages because your windows aren't covered by plywood or shutters.
  • Provides all the benefits of Armor Glass Plus. In addition to hurricane protection, it protects against intrusion, blocks harmful UV rays, provides safety, deadens outside noise and keeps your home comfortable and energy efficient—year-round.

Armor Impact Plus™ (AIP) “hurricane” glass system features three panes of glass, two of which sandwich a protective interlayer. It also includes a SolarControl Plus Low-E coating and argon gas fill. Heavy-duty double locks are standard on Armor Impact Plus windows.

SELECTING ENERGY-EFFICIENT WINDOWS

The glass in the windows you purchase has everything to do with the energy cost savings and level of comfort you will experience with your new windows. Clear double-insulating glass is the minimum on Gorell windows and doors, but you need a Gorell high-performance Low-E glass system for a real difference in energy efficiency.

To see how Gorell products perform with the various glass options, we encourage you to review the "Whole-Window" U-values of our products. These ratings are used by the National Fenestration Ratings Council (NFRC) to qualify windows for the ENERGY STAR ® label. The lower the U-value rating, the more your new windows will lower your energy consumption.

Not all options available on all products.
