Repair Information
Impact glass repair requires replacement with another laminated impact-rated unit that meets the same performance specifications. Virginia Glass Windows sources certified impact glass from approved manufacturers and installs it to meet or exceed local building code requirements for safety glazing.

Expert Knowledge
Hurricane and impact glass installation in the DMV area, the DC metro provides a critical layer of protection for homes and businesses facing severe weather, falling debris, and security threats. While the DMV area does not experience direct hurricane landfalls, the region regularly experiences severe thunderstorms, nor'easters, and microbursts that produce damaging winds and flying debris.
