Hurricane impact windows are specially designed window systems made to withstand severe weather conditions. They typically combine reinforced frames with laminated impact-resistant glass designed to remain together when struck by flying debris. In addition to storm protection, they can provide everyday benefits such as added security and reduced outside noise.

During a hurricane, windborne debris can break ordinary glass and create an opening in the home. Impact-resistant windows are designed and tested to resist that type of impact and the extreme pressure conditions associated with severe storms. StormProtect helps homeowners select products that meet the requirements applicable to their home and location.

Properly approved and installed impact-resistant windows are designed to provide hurricane protection without having to install shutters over those protected openings each time a storm approaches. However, every opening of the home needs appropriate protection. We'll help you understand which areas of your home are protected and where additional protection may be needed.
