Why Replace Your Old Windows?
Old windows are one of the biggest sources of energy waste in Florida homes. Single-pane and outdated double-pane windows let hot air in and cool air out, forcing your AC to work overtime.
- Higher electric bills every month
- Poor insulation — hot spots and drafts
- Outside noise leaks into your home
- UV damage to furniture and flooring
Homeowners in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach see immediate improvements after upgrading to impact windows.
Hurricane Protection You Can Trust
Florida is the most hurricane-prone state in the US. Impact windows are engineered to withstand wind speeds over 180 mph and resist flying debris. The laminated glass holds together even when shattered, keeping wind and rain out of your home.
Unlike shutters, impact windows protect your home 24/7 with no setup needed. When a storm warning is issued, your home is already protected. This is critical for seasonal residents and snowbirds.
South Florida building codes in Miami-Dade and Broward County require impact-rated protection for all new construction and major renovations.
Save Money Every Month
Impact windows deliver real financial savings from day one:
- Insurance discounts: wind-mitigation credits on the hurricane-wind portion of your premium (amount varies by insurer)
- Energy savings: 20% to 30% reduction in cooling costs with Low-E glass
- Long-term investment: Windows last 25 to 30 years — the savings add up fast
To see what the credit is worth on your policy, ask your agent for a quote with and without the opening-protection credit once your wind mitigation form is on file.
Increase Your Home Value
Impact windows are one of the best home improvements for ROI in Florida. Homes with full impact protection sell for 10% to 15% more than comparable homes without them.
- Modern, clean appearance
- Higher resale value in competitive markets
- Better curb appeal — buyers actively seek impact windows
In Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and West Palm Beach, impact windows can be the deciding factor in a sale.
Better Security for Your Family
Impact windows are not just for storms. The laminated glass is extremely difficult to break through, making your home more secure against break-ins.
- Multi-layer glass that resists forced entry
- Stronger than standard windows
- Protects your family day and night
