How to Choose the Right Hurricane Impact Windows for Your Home

Upgrading your home’s existing windows to hurricane impact windows can feel like an overwhelming task. There are so many window companies and options – how do you choose the right one? Follow our checklist below to help simplify and streamline this process:

  • Do the windows meet HVHZ and Miami Dade code requirements for hurricane impact windows?
  • Is the hardware specifically designed to withstand corrosion from the salty and humid South Florida air?
  • Does the window manufacturer carry the right styles for your home? This is especially important if you have any unusually-shaped or custom-sized windows.
  • Does the manufacturer carry the right finishes to match your home? Some manufacturers have a very limited supply of finishes, while others have a wide variety of colors they can match, including custom colors.
  • If you like the look of divided lites (bars that make the window look like it is made up of multiple small windows), does the manufacturer offer this style, or only single pane glass styles?
  • Are screens included or do you need to purchase them separately?
  • How long is the warranty for and what does it cover?
  • Is a high degree of UV protection an important feature to you? If so, is there an option to add a Low-E coating? This can make the windows more energy efficient and protect your furniture and artwork from UV damage.
  • Is your home situated in a location that makes it easy for passersby to see inside? If so, is there an option to add a tinted coating? This can enhance energy efficiency and privacy while reducing glare.
