As the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season kicks off, now is the time for South Florida homeowners to get serious about storm protection. NOAA predicts an above-average hurricane season, with up to 19 named storms and as many as 5 major hurricanes expected between June 1 and November 30.
With hurricane threats on the rise, upgrading your home with hurricane impact windows and doors is one of the smartest and most effective steps you can take to protect your property.
Why Invest in Hurricane Impact Windows and Doors?
Standard windows and doors can easily be compromised by flying debris during a hurricane. Once that happens, wind and water can cause catastrophic damage to your home. In contrast, impact-resistant windows and doors are built with reinforced frames and laminated impact glass, offering unmatched protection and peace of mind.
Benefits of Impact-Resistant Products:
- Withstand Category 5 hurricane winds and debris
- Increase your home’s energy efficiency
- Reduce outside noise
- Improve security year-round
- May qualify for homeowner’s insurance discounts
