Miami is a fabulous, diverse, world-class city. Living in Miami means a laid-back lifestyle with plenty of sunshine and fun things to do. That is, most of the time. However, the Miami area is also notorious for its tropical storms and hurricanes. When a big storm hits, it can cause thousands of dollars in damage to individual homes and businesses. This is why installing hurricane proof windows in Miami is so important.
High-impact hurricane windows won’t break when hit by flying debris from a Category 5 hurricane. Rather, the glass will spider-web, but not shatter. Hurricane proof windows in Miami also protect your home or business from robberies and home invasions.
Impact-resistant windows are made from two to three layers of glass, with the exterior layer made from thick, tempered glass. The interior layers are made from heat-strengthened laminated glass. This not only prevents the glass from shattering but also adds to your home’s energy efficiency. A slight tint on the interior laminated glass reduces UV damage to your interior upholstery but does not obstruct your view of the outside.
While installing high-impact hurricane windows is not cheap, you can often get financing to have the work done. But, installing hurricane windows eventually pay for itself. Installing impact-proof hurricane windows not only improves your property’s resale value but also can reduce your homeowner’s insurance premiums. More importantly, they will protect your belongings and the people you care about.
