How Impact Windows and Doors Can Keep You Safe During Hurricane Season

October 24, 2024

As hurricane season is in full swing and we've just faced multiple storms, it's more important than ever to make sure your home is ready to weather the next one. Here in South Florida, having the right kind of protection can make all the difference, especially when the winds start to pick up and the rain is relentless. Impact windows and doors are a crucial defense line, offering security, peace of mind, and real protection during hurricanes.


Here's the top four reasons to invest in hurricane resistant impact windows and doors:


1. Built to Stand Up to Nature's Worst

Impact windows and doors are specially designed to withstand flying debris and extreme wind pressures. During a hurricane, debris like tree branches or even pieces of roofing can become dangerous projectiles. Regular windows simply can't handle the impact, while impact windows are made of laminated glass that stays intact, even if the outer layer is cracked. This feature not only protects your home from wind damage but also keeps it secure after the storm.


2. Preventing Internal Pressure

Once a window breaks during a storm, it can create a dangerous build-up of internal pressure, potentially leading to structural damage or even roof failure. Impact windows and doors help maintain your home’s structural integrity by preventing the pressure changes caused by broken openings. Keeping that barrier secure during a hurricane is one of the best ways to protect your family and your property.

3. Enhancing Safety and Comfort

Not only do impact windows protect against physical damage, but they also reduce the stress and anxiety of storm preparations. Unlike traditional storm shutters, which need to be installed before every major storm, impact windows and doors are always ready, saving you time and energy. There's no more rushing around to secure every opening in your home—impact windows provide year-round safety.


4. Long-Term Investment for Peace of Mind

Beyond the hurricane season, impact windows offer lasting value. They can increase your home's energy efficiency, lower your insurance premiums, and enhance your home's curb appeal. In the face of multiple hurricanes in one season, the benefits of having impact windows and doors become even more apparent—you can feel reassured knowing that your family is protected.
