Impact Windows in Florida
Impact windows replace ordinary glass with a laminated assembly built to stay in its frame when something hits it. We supply and install impact-resistant and hurricane-rated windows across Florida, with Dade County approved products and custom sizing for openings that aren't standard.
Built to the strictest code in the country
We carry Dade County approved products, tested against the Florida Building Code. That testing is why a window can take repeated impact and still hold its frame.
Custom sizes, not just catalogue sizes
Older Florida homes rarely have standard openings. We measure and order to fit rather than forcing a stock unit into a gap it wasn't made for.
Aluminium and vinyl frames
Both frame materials, in a range of colours and wood-grain finishes. Which one suits you depends on the opening, the exposure and the look you're after.
Impact and non-impact glass
Most customers want impact protection on every opening. Where that isn't the requirement, we also supply non-impact units.
More than storm protection
Laminated impact glass also cuts outside noise, filters UV, and makes a window considerably harder to break through from outside.

Questions
Impact Windows: common questions
Can impact glass break?
Yes, the glass can break, but it takes far more of an impact. It can withstand blow after blow from a 9-pound 2×4 travelling at 34 miles per hour, followed by hurricane-force winds, and still remain in its frame. If it does break, the durable inner layer holds the glass together so the opening stays sealed.
What do I do if my impact glass breaks?
Should impact glass break or crack, it can be re-glazed by a certified re-glazer without removing the window or replacing the whole unit.
Do I still need shutters with non-impact products?
Yes. We recommend hurricane impact protection for every opening in the home.
What are design pressures and testing requirements?
Since Hurricane Andrew in 1992, engineers have gone beyond a single wind-speed figure. Design Pressure calculations use wind speed in relation to the ASCE wind-speed map, plus building height, mean roof height, roof overhang, where the opening sits on the wall, whether it is in an end zone or interior zone, water intrusion and forced entry. That produces a positive and negative design pressure number for every opening. Your windows and doors must meet or exceed those pressures, which is where Dade County testing comes in.
Do impact windows reduce noise?
They help. The laminated inner layer that holds the glass together during an impact also dampens sound transmission, so most customers notice outside noise is reduced.
