Impact windows and doors are one opening-protection option for South Florida homes and businesses. The right approach depends on the property, applicable code, and approved products selected for each opening.
Impact products and approved shutter systems have different testing, installation, operation, and maintenance requirements. We can compare options using the documentation for the exact opening and product.

Impact windows and doors are available with documented storm, energy, acoustic, and forced-entry features. Performance depends on the exact tested assembly and installation.
Select an assembly using its product approval, impact-test documentation, design pressure, opening size, exposure, and installation requirements. No window or door eliminates all storm risk.
Some tested impact assemblies can add resistance to forced entry. Results and limits depend on the exact glass, frame, hardware, installation, and test data; no product prevents every break-in. Any insurance eligibility or premium change is determined by the carrier for the specific policy and property.
Window and door systems are available in different frame profiles, finishes, glass options, configurations, and styles. Compare only options supported by the exact product approval, size, design pressure, opening, installation requirements, availability, and written quote.
