METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN INSULATED, IMPACT RESISTANT WINDOW
An insulated glass unit (IGU) is provided. The IGU meets the industry standards for impact resistance while significantly reducing the weight of the IGU compared to conventional IGUs. In particular, the two pane IGUs of the present invention can meet or exceed industry standards for various wind storm criteria while reducing the weight and cost of the IGU. The IGU only requires one layer of film to meet the performance of previous IGU designs that require two or more layers of film laminated to two or more surfaces of glass.
