Hurricane windows built for Florida's worst storms
Debris-rated, pressure-tested hurricane windows engineered for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so your home stays sealed when the wind peaks. Permits and inspections handled.
Hurricane windows are impact windows engineered for the toughest exposure. They keep your home envelope sealed during a storm, which prevents the pressure spikes that lift roofs and blow out walls.
What hurricane windows actually do during a storm
Hurricane windows are built around laminated impact glass: two panes of glass bonded to a tough inner layer (PVB or SGP). When a roof tile or a 2x4 hits the window, the glass can crack but it stays in the frame instead of blowing into your living room. That matters because once a window or door fails in a storm, wind pressure gets inside the house and starts pushing up on the roof. Keeping the building sealed is the whole point.
The frames are heavy aluminum or vinyl anchored straight into the structure, not the light units you find in a builder-grade home. You also get the everyday benefits all year: less outside noise, blocked UV that fades floors and furniture, and a tighter seal that helps the AC keep up through a Hollywood summer. No plywood, no panels to put up every time a storm enters the Gulf.
Code, permits, and the insurance credit in our three counties
Broward and Miami-Dade sit in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every window we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) and is rated for that pressure. Palm Beach is a wind-borne-debris region under Florida Product Approval rather than HVHZ, so the spec is different but still impact-rated. We pull the permit, schedule the county inspection, and handle the paperwork. You do not chase the building department.
Once the job passes, you can usually claim wind-mitigation credits on your homeowners policy, and impact glass is one of the bigger line items insurers reward. Most homes are done in 1 to 3 days by our own crews (no subcontractors). After 1,400+ installs across these counties in 12+ years, we know which products clear each county's review, so the order is right the first time and the inspection goes clean.
Why impact glass
Why hurricane-rated glass matters
Keeps the envelope sealed
A failed window pressurizes your home and can lift the roof. Hurricane glass holds.
No shutters to deploy
Protection is always on, no scramble before a storm and no panels to store.
Insurance credits
Code-approved hurricane glass earns wind-mitigation credits with most Florida carriers.
Quieter, cooler home
Laminated low-E glass cuts noise and solar heat gain year round.

FAQ
Hurricane window questions
Call David's team for straight answers, no sales pressure.
Call (786) 651-0377What is the difference between impact and hurricane windows?
They are the same category. Hurricane windows are impact windows rated for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, tested against large-missile impact and pressure cycling.
Do hurricane windows replace shutters?
Yes. Once impact-rated glass is installed you no longer need shutters on those openings, and protection is on 24/7.
Are they required by code?
In Broward and Miami-Dade (HVHZ), exterior openings must be impact-protected or shuttered. We install Miami-Dade NOA products that meet the code.
Will they lower my insurance?
Generally yes. We provide the NOA and inspection documentation your insurer needs to apply wind-mitigation credits.
