Types of Hurricane-Resistant Windows We Offer
Our products use strong materials built to protect homes during storms. We focus on glass strength, frame durability, and styles that fit different home designs.
Impact-Resistant Glass Design
We use laminated glass made of two or more glass layers bonded with a special plastic layer. This construction helps the glass hold together even if it cracks. The glass meets strict building codes for impact resistance, which means it can resist flying debris during hurricanes.
Our windows also provide good sound insulation and UV protection. The design minimizes breakage and protects your home from strong winds and rain. You can choose from clear or tinted glass options depending on your needs.
Reinforced Frame and Locking Systems
Our window frames are made from heavy-duty aluminum or vinyl that resists warping and corrosion. These frames are reinforced with steel or other strong materials inside. This reinforcement keeps windows secure during high winds.
We install multi-point locking systems that tighten the seal around the window. These locks improve security and prevent water leaks. The combination of strong frames and locking systems ensures your windows stay intact during storms.
Architectural Styles and Custom Options
We offer various window styles, such as sliders, casements, and double-hung windows. Each style is designed to meet hurricane code requirements while matching your home's look.
Customization includes frame colors, finishes, and grille patterns. We also provide custom sizes to fit unique window openings. This flexibility lets you protect your home without sacrificing style or curb appeal.
Our Window Installation Process
1. Consultation and Assessment
We start by visiting your property to check the current windows and the structure around them. Our team measures each opening precisely to make sure the new windows will fit perfectly.
During the assessment, we identify any weak points in your walls or frames that could affect the window’s performance during a hurricane. We also discuss your budget and preferences to find the best solution.
We review local building codes and insurance requirements to make sure your new windows meet all the necessary rules for hurricane resistance.
3. Professional Installation
Our trained installers remove old windows carefully to avoid damage to your home. We prepare the opening by cleaning and reinforcing the frame before placing the new window.
Windows are installed using strong fasteners and heavy-duty sealants. We check for gaps and secure the edges to prevent leaks and drafts.
After installation, we test each window for proper operation and inspect the overall finish to meet safety and quality standards. We also remove debris and leave the site clean.
2. Custom Fabrication and Product Selection
Once we have measurements and requirements, we help you choose the right window style and glass type. Our hurricane-resistant windows use laminated glass and reinforced frames to block wind and debris.
We work with trusted manufacturers to make custom windows that fit your house exactly. This means no gaps or weak spots after installation.
You can select options like impact-resistant screens and special seals that improve protection and energy efficiency without sacrificing appearance.
Compliance With Building Codes and Insurance Requirements
We make sure all our hurricane-resistant window installations meet local building codes. These codes set clear rules to ensure safety during storms and high winds. Following them helps protect your home and keeps your installation legal.
Our team stays updated on building code changes. We use materials and methods that pass strict tests for wind resistance and impact protection. This ensures our windows provide the protection you expect.
Insurance companies often require windows to meet certain standards. Properly installed hurricane-resistant windows can qualify you for insurance discounts. We help by providing all needed documentation to prove compliance with these requirements.
Here are key points we follow for compliance:
- Use certified impact-resistant glass
- Secure frames to meet wind load standards
- Include proper sealing to prevent water intrusion
- Provide certification paperwork for insurance claims
By working with us, you avoid delays and extra costs caused by failing inspections. We handle the technical details so your home is ready for hurricanes and your insurance policies stay valid.
