4 Benefits of Hurricane Proof Doors and Windows

Living in Florida is great… until it isn't. That is because our normally bright, sunny, warm weather can turn into a nightmare when a hurricane is on its way. If you've lived in South Florida for long, you know a hurricane isn't "if" but "when." This is why many homeowners look into ways to protect themselves, their family, and their home before the storm is even on the radar. One of the best ways to go about doing this is to look into having hurricane proof windows and doors put into your home.

If you're undecided as to whether this is the right investment for you, consider the following:

#1 You'll be protected from major storms. The obvious number one reason to get these new doors and windows installed is that they will withstand hurricane force winds. Impact resistant windows and doors act as a protective shield for your home. The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS) rigorously test hurricane impact windows and doors for missile projectiles. Impact windows only require one-time installation, so there is no storm preparation other than stocking up on food and water!

#2 Your home is safer from all threats, not just storms. An occasional hurricane isn't the only threat to your home. These strong windows and doors make it much harder for a thief to break in. In fact, a burglar could take a crowbar to your windows, but the glass wouldn’t shatter all over the floor and give them an easy way in! Impact resistant windows and doors make it almost impossible for intruders to break into your home.

#3 Your energy bills will go down. Another thing that won't be getting into your home is that harsh Florida sun! Impact glass provides UV protection. Hurricane impact windows are made of laminated glass that use LoE coatings, making your home more energy efficient. They will reduce the amount of energy you use in your home throughout the year by keeping the cool air in, and the warm, humid air out. This means a lower electric bill each month!

#4 You will often get insurance premium discounts. Your insurance company will be glad to hear they won't need to cover the costs of broken windows and interior damages from your door breaking. They will reward you with a lower premium! If you are worried about the cost of these new windows and doors, it’s worth giving your insurance company a call to find out what kind of savings you will get. The savings may end up completely offsetting the original cost of installing impact resistant windows in your home.
