Impact Storm Windows
Superior Protection for Florida Homes and Businesses
When it comes to hurricane preparedness, Impact Storm Windows are a game-changer for homeowners and businesses in storm-prone areas like Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Tampa Bay. At West Shore Hurricane Protection, we specialize in providing and professionally installing top-quality hurricane windows that offer unmatched storm protection, energy efficiency, and long-term value.
Why Choose Impact Storm Windows?
1.Always Ready for Storm Season
Unlike shutters or plywood that need to be installed before every storm, impact windows are always in place, offering continuous protection. Once installed, these windows require no additional effort, saving time and providing peace of mind during hurricane season.
2.Withstand Hurricane-Force Winds and Debris
Impact storm windows are designed to meet or exceed Florida’s stringent building codes. Engineered with laminated glass and reinforced frames, they withstand Category 5 hurricane winds and flying debris, preventing dangerous breaches that can lead to water damage or pressure-related structural issues.
- Sun Protection: Block harmful UV rays and reduce heat for outdoor comfort.
- Privacy: Maintain seclusion around your pool, patio, or outdoor spaces.
- Insect Defense: Keep bugs at bay while enjoying the fresh air.
- Energy Efficiency: Lower cooling costs by reducing sun exposure.
- Wind and Dust Protection: Minimize debris and maintain cleanliness.
3.Seamless Aesthetic
Impact windows blend seamlessly into your home’s architecture. Available in various styles and finishes, they maintain your property’s appearance while delivering robust protection.
The Benefits of Impact Storm Windows
- Hurricane Protection: Impact storm windows feature shatter-resistant laminated glass that stays in place even if cracked, creating a barrier against high winds, rain, and debris. Their advanced design also helps maintain internal pressure, reducing the risk of roof lift-off during a storm.
- Enhanced Security: Built with ballistic-grade materials, these windows make forced entry nearly impossible, adding an extra layer of security against intruders.
- Energy Efficiency: Impact windows reduce heat transfer, improving insulation and lowering cooling costs by up to 30%. Many models also block 99% of UV rays, protecting your furniture and interior finishes from sun damage.
- Noise Reduction: The laminated glass significantly reduces outdoor noise, creating a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment.
- Insurance Discounts: Many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with hurricane-rated impact windows, potentially saving you money on homeowner’s insurance.
How Impact Windows Work
Hurricane impact windows are constructed with two layers of tempered glass bonded to a tough inner layer of polyvinyl. This laminated design ensures that even if the outer layer breaks, the window remains intact, preventing water and wind intrusion.
Frames are available in aluminum or vinyl, each offering unique benefits:
- Aluminum Frames: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for Florida’s salty coastal air.
- Vinyl Frames: Energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and resistant to sun damage.
At West Shore Hurricane Protection, we offer a range of styles to complement your home’s design:
