Professional Installation

The proper installation of a window or door to the existing structure is crucial to the performance of the window. The manufacturer and the FBC (Florida Building Code) have specific procedures on how new impact-resistant windows or doors must be installed to provide the maximum amount of protection when confronted by a storm or other hazard. Hiring a licensed contractor that can submit all the documentation to your local building department and pass inspections is very important.

Insurance Benefits

Most homeowner insurance carrier’s provide additional discounts for impact windows and doors. The benefits from having impact-resistant windows and doors extend beyond hurricanes or storms to more security concerns such as preventing break-ins and theft.

Energy Performance

The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) provides manufacturers with testing and a certification for thermal performance for windows and residential door products with glass. The NFRC serves as a complementary program that can test the whole window (including frame) for the following characteristics: U-Factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), Visible Transmittance, Air Leakage, and Condensation Resistance. We can provide these details and test results for your selected windows prior to purchase. Studies suggest potential savings of hundreds of dollars a year for certain circumstances.
