STORM DAMAGE PREVENTION
Hurricanes and other coastal storms constantly plague Florida, but impact-resistant windows are one of the best defenses your home has against these natural disasters. When you have specialty windows installed, your home stands a better chance against strong weather conditions, including hurricanes and hail. Other coastal storms pose no threat against storm windows in Florida. After installing impact-resistant windows onto your Florida home, you no longer need to rely on using storm shutters or panels. Even in the most intense hurricane-prone areas, a home’s interior remains standing.
Even if your storm window gets a direct hit from wind-blown debris, a specially designed laminate layer within the panes keeps shattered glass pieces together, preventing damage and injury. The impact windows we install onto Florida home can protect a homeowner from debris, dirt, and other extremities storms brew in from other places.
FUNCTIONALITY AND DURABILITY
Before impact-resistant windows in Florida can be made, they need to first go through an inspection to ensure the materials meet standards. The glass you see right now needs to have layers to block out debris while also preventing shattering. The hurricane windows on Florida homes go through a rigorous inspection to determine strength, and if they pass this inspection, they can be installed.
Before approving Florida impact-resistant windows, each homeowner needs to ensure that the glass grade meets the requirements in their hurricane zone. We actually do that ahead of time, so you’re not left wondering if the impact-resistant windows meet your town’s requirements, including Orlando and the rest of Central Florida. Hurricane windows are ideal for your Florida home because they are made from durable materials with proven strength against high-winds and other parts of a hurricane. Even while the storm windows stand up against Florida weather, they are still attractive, functional, and easy to maintain. The laminated impact-resistant glass panes are specially manufactured to stand up to the toughest of weather challenges.

What is Impact Glass or an Impact Window?
Impact glass is a type of sheet that’s heavy-duty, meaning that it’s manufactured with multiple layers of glass and a clear plastic-like film. The film used in the production of impact windows in Florida is a bonding agent that manufacturers use to infuse multiple layers of glass together. This hybrid laminated glass is energy efficient and can be tinted, just like a traditional glass window, for added sun protection. It is installed within a durable and reinforced frame that can be used in a variety of designs of windows and doors. These hurricane-reinforced windows will be able to stand up to the force of a high-velocity projectile impact.
How do Impact-Resistant Windows Protect my Home?
Traditional glass windows break and sharp fragments fly everywhere when storm debris hits your home. Water, more flying debris and wind can enter your home causing further damage. Even storm shutters and panels can blow off in high winds, exposing vulnerable glass windows to damage and leaving your precious home defenseless. What does the laminate layer of hurricane windows do to your Florida home besides make it look sleek and aesthetically pleasing? Well, the lamination used in creating impact windows in Florida adds additional protection by making the glass harder to shatter. It holds the glass in place if it shatters from the impact of an object, which minimizes further damage from water, debris or wind. These impact-resistant windows in Orlando and the rest of Central Florida also provide a higher level of security after the storm is over, since they remain intact even if the glass is broken.
After the storm, there is still a lot of air pressure, resulting in more windows being broken. The windows break from a vacuum created by the air pressure. When you install hurricane windows onto your Florida home, you avoid shattered glass completely because of the multiple layers that are inside of the window. It’s a myth that opening your windows during a severe storm or hurricane can prevent this air pressure build-up. Impact glass bends and flexes with wind and air pressure changes. Advanced engineering allows your windows to flex several inches in or out as the air pressure fluctuates during a storm. This prevent parts of your home, including the roof, from being pulled off and blown away.
Why have Impact-Resistant Windows Installed in your Florida Home?
Florida Building Code requires hurricane windows.
Do you live in a high velocity hurricane zone? The Florida Building Code (FBC) requires that homeowners within one mile of the coast have hurricane windows installed in their home. Wind speeds can reach 150 mph or greater in these areas which necessitates the protection provided by the laminated impact glass used in our windows. Even outside of the mandated area, the FBC recommends hurricane window installation for homes where severe weather frequently occurs. Impact windows add value to any home, and they may even lower insurance premiums in certain areas. We have been providing Central Florida—including Orlando—with impact-resistant window installation for many years and can attest to the difference it has made in not only minimizing storm damage but avoiding it altogether. Why should you install storm windows onto your Florida home? Alongside the other reasons above, they could also protect your home from unwanted guests. Prepare your home for more than just storms with impact-resistant windows that are hard to break and even more impossible to unlock with added security features.
