The Dual Purpose of Hurricane Windows
Protection Against Natural Elements
Living in Florida means dealing with hurricanes and tropical storms. Our hurricane windows are designed to endure high winds, flying debris, and torrential rains. This level of durability ensures that your home remains intact during extreme weather events, protecting your loved ones and possessions.
Deterrence of Unwanted Intruders
The same features that make hurricane windows resilient against storms also make them formidable barriers against intruders. The robust materials and construction techniques used in manufacturing these windows create a strong line of defense that deters break-in attempts.
How Hurricane Windows Deter Intruders
Impact-Resistant Glass
This glass comprises multiple layers with an interlayer of PVB or EVA. Upon impact, it holds together, preventing shattering and maintaining security.
Strong Frame Materials
We utilize heavy-duty aluminum or reinforced vinyl frames that resist corrosion and forced entry, securely anchored to your home’s structure.
Advanced Locking Mechanisms
Our hurricane windows feature multi-point locking systems that make unauthorized access significantly more difficult.
The Science Behind the Strength
Laminated Glass Technology
Bonding multiple glass layers with a strong interlayer ensures the window stays intact after impacts, serving both storm and intrusion protection.
Tested Under Extreme Conditions
Our windows are tested for wind speeds over 150 mph and large projectile impacts, proving their strength in real-world conditions.
