The Alside impact ratings will vary based on the type of glass package you opt for. In all cases, their impact window will achieve a DP50 rating or higher. With the laminated glass with DSB, this hurricane window should acheive a 33 STC rating.
Alside does not list their windows on the nfrc.org website (as far as we could find) so there is no additional window ratings information available than the double hung.
The Alside Impact window offers a lifetime limited warranty that protects against material and workmanship defects on the mainframe and sash It also provides a lifetime warranty on all moving parts, the fiberglass screen and frame, as well as the insulated glass unit (on a prorated schedule).
