"Impact-rated" isn't a marketing adjective — it's a specific testing standard tied to a specific product approval number. We'll show you that documentation before we install anything.
The bottom sash slides up while the top stays fixed. Widely available impact-rated, and typically the most budget-friendly option for a like-for-like replacement in standard bedroom and living-area openings.
One or both sashes slide side to side on a track — a common match for the wide, low openings in many Central Florida ranch-style and 1970s–80s homes, with good ventilation since a full panel opens.
Cranks outward on a hinge like a door. Because the sash compresses against the frame when closed, casements typically seal tighter against wind-driven rain — a real advantage in Florida's rainy season.
Glass only — often the most cost-effective way to get a large, unbroken view over a kitchen sink, beside a front door or in a great room. Usually paired with an operable style nearby.
A multi-panel projection that extends out from the wall, combining fixed and operable units. Best in a dining nook, primary bedroom or living room where the extra space and curb appeal justify the cost.
It ties the exact glass thickness, interlayer, frame material and anchoring method tested in a lab to what gets installed in your rough opening.
Structural performance under thousands of cycles of positive and negative wind pressure.
Large-missile impact resistance of the specific glazing and frame assembly.
The number earned by passing that testing — or a Miami-Dade NOA for the stricter HVHZ standard.
Installed per the manufacturer's tested instructions, so the protection matches what was tested.
We'll recommend the brand that fits your budget, timeline and home — not just the one we have on hand.
Manufactured in Venice, FL since 1980 — the largest Florida-headquartered impact window manufacturer.
Our highest-volume brand — in-house manufacturing keeps lead times shorter than several domestic competitors.
We source and install every major impact-rated brand sold in Florida — matched to your budget and timeline.
Cost depends on opening size, frame material, glass package and how many windows you're replacing. We give you a written, itemized quote at the free assessment rather than a generic per-window number.
It depends on whether your address sits inside the Wind-Borne Debris Region or the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Most inland Orlando/Orange County addresses fall outside both today — ask us to check yours directly.
Existing windows come out down to the rough opening, the opening is checked and prepped, and the new impact unit is set, shimmed and fastened per the manufacturer's tested instructions, then sealed and finished. A permit and inspection are part of the process.
Timelines depend on order size, manufacturer lead time and permitting turnaround. You'll get a written schedule at the assessment.
Warranty terms vary by manufacturer and typically cover glass, frame, hardware and labor separately. You get the specific written warranty documents for your product before you sign anything.
