Impact Windows in Miami, FL

Impact windows are not just a minor improvement or upgrade; they’re outright necessary. Like most South Florida jurisdictions, hurricane impact windows are required and tightly interwoven into Miami-Dade building codes.

Of course, not every hurricane-rated window is equally effective. If you’re already putting effort into protecting your structure, it’s worth it to invest that bit of time and energy necessary to secure the highest-functioning and most value-adding windows throughout your home or business.

Contact Elite Impact Glass for impact windows in Miami and surrounding areas. Below we will discuss how our industry-leading hurricane windows can far surpass the minimum standards and keep what’s most important to you safe.

How Do Impact Windows Work?

Impact windows (aka hurricane windows) are highly robust panes of glass that may not appear different from regular windows. However, they provide far superior impact resistance due to a sophisticated laminate formula that holds the glass in its shape even if it cracks, much like a car windshield.

The glass and frame of hurricane impact windows are also more robust than standard versions. Impact windows often use two panes of thicker-than-normal glass and multiple layers of laminate materials, while the frames are constructed from high-strength aluminum alloys and other materials featuring high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

Note that the hardware is also an important consideration. The best hurricane windows also feature stronger hinges, locks, and mounting components than standard windows, with an emphasis on tamper resistance and longevity.

Benefits of Installing Hurricane Windows in Miami Homes and Businesses

When impacted, hurricane windows strongly resist cracking in the first place. If struck hard enough, hurricane impact windows still prevent cracked glass from giving way to an actual breach. That’s because the industrial-strength laminate retains the glass’s form and even continues resisting impacts.

This has the added benefit of keeping shards of glass from scattering across your floor, which would pose major cutting hazards for people and pets. Aside from their primary function, protecting against storms and burglaries, hurricane windows also carry a wide range of other value-adding features:

  • Greater insulation and a possible reduction in HVAC costs
  • Sound absorption, a particularly useful quality in busier areas
  • UV filtration, which can reduce the fading of materials in your house
  • Numerous styles to choose from for equally robust aesthetics and usability
