TRANSCRIPT
Severe weather elements like harsh temperatures, wind, sun and salt are no match for Integrity windows and doors. That’s why homeowners in search of top performance and stability turn to IMPACT. Integrity IMPACT products help sustain the structural quality of your home with the beauty of Ultrex® pultruded fiberglass, the perfect material to stand up to the storm.
The Ultrex AdvantageUltrex® is the perfect material to withstand the harshest conditions, even along the coast. Its combination of strength, minimal expansion/contraction rate and superior resistance to heat, UV degradation and corrosion means that IMPACT products won’t only stand up to the storm — they will stand up to time.
No Worries, No SacrificeRespond to high-impact weather with high IMPACT performance that cuts costs and looks good doing it, thanks to the beauty of Ultrex®.

Safety, Security and Serenity Ordinary annealed glass breaks easily. Tempered glass, while stronger, shatters under a greater impact. But the laminated glass in Integrity’s products is different. If laminated glass is broken, the vinyl interlayer remains in the frame, with the glass fragments adhering to the interlayer. This provides a strong barrier against forced entry and cannot be cut from one side only, which renders glasscutters useless.
Best in Class FinishUltrex was the first and only fiberglass finish to be verified to AAMA’s voluntary finish specifications for fiber reinforced thermoset profiles (fiberglass). The Ultrex patented acrylic cap finish is verified AAMA 623-10 and 624-10, and has passed the AAMA 625-10 lab based performance test protocols; 625-10 outdoor weathering test protocols are in process.
