Our Installation Services
We focus on several key steps to protect your home with hurricane-resistant windows. Our approach includes a careful inspection of your current windows, helping you choose the right products, and ensuring each window fits perfectly. These steps are designed to meet safety standards and fit your home’s specific needs.
Window Assessment and Consultation
Our team starts with a detailed check of your existing windows. We evaluate their size, condition, and how well they resist impact and wind pressure. This helps us identify weak points that could fail during a storm.
During the consultation, we discuss your budget, style preferences, and local building codes. We also explain the differences between window types and materials. This ensures you understand your options and can make an informed choice.
Product Selection Assistance
We guide you in choosing windows that meet your safety needs and match your home’s look. Our selection includes laminated glass, impact-resistant frames, and reinforced sashes. These products are tested to withstand strong winds and flying debris.
We offer a clear comparison of features like energy efficiency, durability, and maintenance. This helps you pick windows that balance protection with everyday comfort and savings. Your choice is based on facts, not just marketing claims.
Custom Fitting and Sizing
Every home is different, so we custom fit windows to your exact measurements. Our technicians take precise dimensions to avoid gaps and ensure a tight seal. Proper fitting is crucial to prevent leaks and damage during storms.
We also handle all adjustments needed for frames and opening mechanisms. Our work meets or exceeds local hurricane codes. We use quality materials and skilled installation techniques to guarantee long-term performance.
Types of Hurricane-Resistant Windows We Offer
We provide hurricane-resistant windows designed for strength, durability, and energy efficiency. Our options include advanced glass types and solid frame materials that meet strict safety standards.
Impact-Resistant Glass Options
Our impact-resistant glass is made with a special laminate that holds together when broken. This glass blocks flying debris during storms and helps keep your home secure.
We offer layers of glass with interlayers, increasing strength without adding extra weight. The glass is also designed to reduce noise and UV rays, helping to protect your interior.
This glass meets building codes for hurricane zones, giving you peace of mind during severe weather.
Laminated and Insulated Glass Units
Laminated glass units combine two or more layers of glass with a plastic film to enhance toughness. They limit glass shattering and maintain integrity under stress.
Insulated glass units have two panes separated by a spacer filled with air or gas. This design increases energy efficiency while maintaining hurricane resistance.
We offer both laminated and insulated units that balance safety with comfort and energy savings. They also improve soundproofing.
Frame Materials and Finishes
Our frames are made from materials like aluminum, vinyl, and fiberglass, chosen for strength and weather resistance.
Aluminum frames are strong and lightweight, offering long-lasting protection. Vinyl frames provide good insulation and low maintenance. Fiberglass frames combine durability with flexibility and resist warping.
We provide various finishes that resist corrosion and match your home’s style. These frames work with our glass options to create a complete hurricane-resistant window system.

We carefully check all local regulations before starting any installation. This includes requirements for window strength, materials, and fastening methods to ensure total compliance.
