In 1984 when we were just getting started window and door replacement were a large segment of our business. We never gave up on our roots in the window replacement industry. So many South Florida homes have older type windows. Consumers are looking for more energy efficient windows to retrofit their homes. Security is an on going concern and older windows offer no peace of mind. South Floridians are also faced with the inherent knowledge that hurricanes pay us too many visits. The South Florida building codes have been revised and all windows must pass ridid testing for both impact & non-impact products.
When considering replacing your windows you have several choices in styles and configurations. First decision to consider is impact or non-impact.

Non-impact offers a considerable savings in cost, or so it may seem. Although the sticker price is much less then impact windows there are other cost involved. All window replacement projects require a permit from your city. When using non-impact windows your permit must include code approved hurricane protection. There are many styles of Hurricane shutters to choose from. Add one of these choices and the cost difference between impact & non-impact get closer. Be faced with one or several hurricanes a year and consider the cost to put up and take down the protection and you could have afforded the impact type. Also consider the lost wages and danger you put yourself in when putting up hurricane protection and impact type becomes a no brainer.
Impact windows are engineered to meet Hurricanes head on. Impact window products must meet the most stringent code requirements for hurricane-force winds and flying debris, to insure that even after impact the glass remains in the frame. But they also do so much more for your home, family and your belongings. Providing year round protection against thieves and intruders. Dramatically reducing outdoor noise. Filtering out 99% of the fading caused by UV light that enters your home. And laminated insulating glass can improve energy efficiency, which significantly reduces cooling and heating costs. It's continuous, overall protection-without having to think twice.
