What We Install

Complete sliding door and glass repair solutions. One call, one visit, one perfect result.

Single-hung and double-hung windows

Single-hung windows are those that have just one opening section, sliding from the bottom up, while double-hung windows are those that have two halves that slide independently from each other. It allows a double-hung window to be cleaned without the need for a ladder since both halves can be slid to provide access to the window's outer glass surface. You can order both versions of the window as laminated impact windows that can be built to accommodate the opening's dimensions without any new construction or installation of new frames.

Sliding windows

Sliding windows slide horizontally rather than vertically, which is why they’re good to place over the sink of the kitchen or on the wall of the lanai where they will not get in the way. Sliding impact windows require frames that are a little bit deeper. This is why it is important to make sure if your space is big enough.

Casement windows

Casement windows operate by using a crank mechanism for opening (or closing) the windows. Their closure system presses them tightly to the frame. Due to that, this type of window can significantly hinder weather elements from coming through, which makes it very useful for bedrooms and bathrooms. But there is one more thing worth remembering. The crank mechanism will require servicing from time to time, which can be troublesome for some homeowners.

Aluminum impact windows

Impact windows made from aluminum can hold large sheets of glass without being bulky. Most often, they are installed in buildings located in coastal areas because these windows are made using the marine coating, which is resistant to the sea air. All types of impact windows made of aluminum are also available.

Glass and Frame: What Actually Changes When You Go Impact

What is “Impact” Glass?

Impact glass is not merely tempered glass that has a particular label affixed to it. It is made from multiple layers of glass bonded by a tough plastic interlayer. When flying debris strikes and damages the first layer of glass, the interlayer helps keep the broken layer in place, thereby preventing incoming air and rain from penetrating the room. In addition to that, the interlayer does not allow a person to receive cuts.

Are Hurricane and Impact Windows the Same?

The two terms are often used interchangeably by contractors, but hurricane windows are typically framed around wind resistance with fewer glass layers, while impact windows are built to withstand direct hits from flying debris better. Impact windows also help protect the building envelope during sudden pressure changes in a hurricane. It is also important that the Florida Product Approval Number and design pressure be checked when comparing the quotations for the installation of both types of windows.

Should You Choose Aluminum or Vinyl Frame?

The decision on choosing the frame is also to be made, since window frames need enough strength to support heavier impact resistant glass. It is very important to have strong, reinforced frames so the unit stays secure under local wind loads and storm conditions.

	Aluminum	Vinyl
Frame profile	Slim, more glass	Wider
Salt air	Needs a marine-grade finish	Doesn’t corrode
Insulation	Good	Better
Best for	Coastal homes, condos, large openings	Inland homes, lower energy bills

Proper frame choice also matters for long term performance.

Key Benefits of Impact Windows for Florida Homes

Most homeowners start looking at impact windows because of storms. The reasons they’re glad they did usually show up the rest of the year.

1 No More Storm Prep Once they’re in, they’re in. No panels stacked in the garage, no ladder the night a storm turns toward you, and better storm protection during severe weather.

2 Lower Wind Insurance Premium After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection on the state’s OIR-B1-1802 form typically earns a 20–40% credit on the wind portion of your policy, and many insurance providers offer discounts once impact windows are installed.

3 Cooler House, Smaller Bill Laminated low-E glass improves energy efficiency, boosts year-round comfort, and cooling costs commonly drop 15–30%, or about $126–$465 annually.

4 Up to 99% UV Blocked The interlayer screens out nearly all UV, so floors, furniture, and artwork fade a lot slower.

5 Quieter Rooms Two lites and an interlayer take the edge off traffic, lawn crews, and the neighbor’s pool party.

6 Harder to Break Into Laminated glass cracks but stays in the frame. Getting through it takes time and makes noise, which is exactly what a burglar doesn’t want, while also adding protection against break-ins.

7 Tested, Not Just Labeled Approved units pass large-missile impact, thousands of pressure cycles, and water testing sprayed at roughly the equivalent of 8 inches of rain an hour; built to withstand hurricane-force winds, some systems are tested up to 200 mph.

Florida homeowners also like that the upgrade can improve curb appeal and significantly raise property value.

Where Impact Window Installation Is Required in Florida

Florida has its building codes, which divide the state into wind zones that determine the wind loads that windows will withstand. The windows used in Florida should not only comply with the Florida Building Code but also comply with the codes of the state and meet the structural requirements for the resistance against the impact.

	High-Velocity Hurricane Zone	Wind-Borne Debris Region	Inland Areas
Where	Southeast tip of the state	Land within 1 mile of the coast with 130+ mph design winds, plus any area with 140+ mph	Everywhere else
Design wind speed	Up to 175 mph	130 mph and up	Below 140 mph
New builds & full replacements	Impact glass that meets the strictest building codes	Impact glass or approved shutters	Standard windows are usually allowed
Why go impact?	Required by code	Required, or shutters every storm	Insurance credit, no storm prep
