Hurricane Impact Windows Protection
In South Florida, hurricane protection impact windows & doors
should be a serious concern for all home and business owners. The
builder-grade windows used in many homes built during
the
1970s, ‘80s and beyond were cheaply made and affordable but did not
protect your home from hurricanes or a break-in attempt.
It has been
shown many times over, that once windows or doors are blown out or
broken during a storm the building sustains additional damage and
perhaps even complete destruction. A flying wind-borne object will take
out the window, allowing the full force of wind and water to destroy the
building’s inner structure and contents.
Once
the wind has a way into the building the pressure my reach a point where
you can lose the whole roof. Wherever you see a missing roof you will
find a window or door has failed. Ordinary windows are the weakest link
in home or business storm protection. Doors are the second weakest link,
so years ago contractors started mounting outside doors so that they
only opened out.
Gold Coast is the most recognized South Florida hurricane protection impact windows & doors installer, with over 20 years experience all over Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. In 1994 building codes in South Florida required that all builders anchor windows into the building substrate. This became the statewide requirement by 2001. Those windows weren’t going anywhere.
Next the inherent weakness of pane glass had to be addressed.
Wind-borne debris or a determined thief remained the only serious
challenges. Hurricane protection experts decided to
borrow
technology from the makers of automotive glass windows, by laminating
glass plates to a super strong flexible inner membrane.
