Here's why:Aluminum windows last the longest.Tempered or laminated glass are both stronger than plain annealed glass (laminated is just a tick more energy efficient).MUCH cheaper than good quality custom sized impact windows both in initial cost and replacement cost (I doubt that you will find exact fit factory replacements)Covering them with a permanent, crystal clear, UV filtering shutter will prolong the life of the window, eliminate water leaks and window maintenance.Permanent shutters don't break so there's no replacement cost and offer continuous protection whether you're home or away.Increases home resale valueIf you simply want to flip the place, go to a cheap PVC impact window supplier and get a list of standard sizes and modify your openings to fit.
