Straight answers on cost, financing, insurance, hurricane code, installation, and the products we install — from a licensed Orlando impact-window specialist.
Impact windows use a laminated glass — two panes bonded to a tough interlayer — set in a reinforced frame. In a hurricane the glass can crack but stays in the frame, keeping wind, water, and debris out. Every day they also cut energy bills, block noise, and deter intruders. We install them across Orlando to Florida code.
They're the same thing — "hurricane windows," "impact windows," and "impact-resistant windows" all describe laminated glass rated to withstand storm winds and flying debris. The key is that they meet Florida Building Code wind-load standards, which ours do.
For most Orlando homeowners, yes. Impact windows protect 24/7 with nothing to put up before a storm, and they add everyday value shutters don't: lower energy bills, less noise, more security, and possible insurance savings. Shutters are cheaper up front but only work if you install them before each storm.
It depends on the number and size of openings, the window style, and the glass package — so we give you an exact, line-item quote at a free in-home measure rather than a vague range. Most Orlando homeowners finance the project with $0 down. Call (689) 219-5507 to get started.
