Entry Level Pricing: $350 – $500
Entry level prices will usually be a composite or vinyl frame with a limited number of colors to choose from.

The glass will probably be a resin laminate, which costs less than the other options – essentially the resin laminte is poured between the two panes of glass.
Mid Range Pricing: $500 – $650
Standard impact windows cost will range from $500 to $650 and will be a high end vinyl or a lower end clad window (maybe fiberglass on the outside and wood on the inside). Often they will come from a mid to well known brand and may be able to be opened. The glass material might be a polyvinyl butyral (PVB), which is one of the more commonly used materials. It will use good argon or krypton fills and good hardware.
High End Pricing: $650 – $900
High end imapct windows will be wood or wood clad with a fiberglass or fibrex exteriorwood frames. At this price range, the window may be larger and is often a custom order, allowing homeowners to choose more options in the color, size and frame set up. The glass package will include low-e, krypton or argon fill and foam insulation. The material in the glass will probably be SGB, which is harder and stiffer than the polyvinyl butyral. This material is what is used in many some bullet-proof windows.
