Why Impact Windows Are a Smart Long-Term Investment for Business Owners
If you own commercial property in Boca Raton or South Florida, protecting your business from hurricanes is a major concern. Repairing the physical damage from a major hurricane can cost your business hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars. While insurance pays a portion of these costs, your business will still have to pay the deductible. On top of that is the damage and loss of inventory, the revenue loss from being closed during the repairs, and the loss of customers who switch to a competitor while you are closed and don’t return.
One of the smartest options for safeguarding your South Florida business is investing in hurricane impact windows. These are the top four reasons why you should install hurricane impact windows in your South Florida business location:
- Superior hurricane protection is a clear benefit of investing in hurricane impact windows. If you currently own a building with standard glass windows and hurricane shutters, you know how difficult and time-consuming it is to prepare before each major storm. Hurricane shutters also detract from the aesthetic of your building’s exterior, which is a very significant drawback if your business caters to a high-end clientele. With hurricane impact windows, your building’s windows and doors are always hurricane-ready.
- Hurricane impact windows provide your business with enhanced security due to their multilayer construction. Retail theft is at an all-time high, with $45 billion in retail revenue lost to theft in 2024[1]. Hurricane impact windows are nearly impossible for thieves to break, especially if they are trying to do so quickly. This can make your business less of a target for smash-and-grab thieves.
- Many business owners are surprised to learn that installing hurricane impact windows can lead to additional unexpected cost-savings. For example, some insurance companies offer discounts for buildings that offer advanced hurricane protection systems. Hurricane impact windows are significantly more energy-efficient than standard windows, which can lead to reduced electricity bills. These windows also reduce the amount of UV rays that enter into your building, which can prolong the life of furnishings, paint, and other items that may fade over time from UV exposure.
- Hurricane impact windows can increase the value of your property. They are available in nearly every size and shape to complement the overall aesthetic of your building and enhance its curb appeal, allowing you to attract more tenants and charge higher rents.
