What Are Impact Windows and Why Do You Need Them?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Impact windows are designed to resist damage from flying debris. The glass stays attached to the frame and inner membrane when hit during hurricanes, providing critical protection for your home.<\/p>\n

The Florida Building Code (FBC) requires impact-resistant windows in homes or commercial buildings along coastal areas. Miami-Dade County, in particular, has the strictest standards in the country for rain, wind, and wind-borne debris tests.<\/p>\n

Although impact windows are not mandatory statewide, their benefits make them highly recommended.<\/p>\n

Benefits of Installing Impact Windows<\/b><\/h2>\n

Cost and Energy Efficiency<\/b><\/h3>\n
