The Threat Is Real
What a Hurricane Can Do to Unprotected Windows
A Category 3 hurricane generates winds over 111 mph. Standard windows fail within seconds — turning glass into deadly projectiles and allowing wind pressure to destroy your roof from the inside out.
Wind Pressure Damage
Standard glass shatters under sustained winds as low as 80 mph, creating catastrophic pressure changes inside your home.
Flying Debris Impact
Lumber, branches, and unsecured objects become missiles. A 2×4 traveling at 50 mph can pierce a standard window effortlessly.
Water Intrusion
When windows break, rain-driven horizontal water floods in — destroying flooring, walls, furniture, and electronics within minutes.
Roof Lift & Total Loss
When windows break, internal pressure spikes — pushing up on the roof. This is why so many homes lose their roofs entirely during storms.
Your Protection Options
Impact Windows vs. Storm Shutters
Not all hurricane protection is equal. Here's what you need to know before making a decision.
Impact Windows & Doors
Laminated, PVB-bonded glass rated to Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code standards. Permanent protection — no prep required before any storm. Also reduces noise, UV rays, and energy costs year-round. May qualify for homeowner's insurance discounts of 10–30%.
Accordion Shutters
Fold out from the sides of each window. Requires manual deployment before every storm. Blocks light and ventilation when closed. More labor than impact glass but less costly upfront.
Panel Shutters
Aluminum or polycarbonate panels stored in your garage and bolted on before storms. Labor-intensive and require storage space. Lowest upfront cost, highest inconvenience.
Plywood Boarding
Not rated for hurricane protection. Provides minimal impact resistance and no wind pressure protection. Creates dangerous false confidence and must be re-bought every season.

Hurricane Prep Checklist
Use this checklist before every storm season. The most important item — protecting your openings — should be addressed now, not 48 hours before a named storm.
Before Season Begins
Inspect all windows and doors for broken seals, cracks, or age damage
Confirm your windows are impact-rated (look for NOA or Miami-Dade sticker)
Schedule a free home assessment with a licensed installer
Check homeowner's insurance policy for opening protection requirements
Trim trees and large branches near your home
Review your hurricane evacuation zone and plan your routes
Stock a 7-day supply of water (1 gallon per person per day)
Charge portable power stations and backup batteries
Document your home inventory with photos or video
Keep important documents in a waterproof, fireproof container

What Our Customers Say
Best decision I made! I would definitely recommend this company if you are looking to upgrade or purchase windows. I have the best looking and hurricane safe windows on the block! Don’t hesitate to call them for an estimate, you will be very surprised how affordable it will be.
This company is fantastic. If l could give them 10 stars l would. They installed windows in my condo and the whole process went smoothly. Even my HOA said they do excellent work. Tim, who manage the whole thing, never ignored my calls or emails he always follows you, a true professional. I would never use anyone else.
Dealing with this company, from start to finish, was a pleasure. All of the employees, especially Brandon and Tim, were wonderful to work with. The installation of my front door was impeccably done, in less than a day, by Louis, and I am very pleased. I would recommend South Florida Windows and Doors very highly. Oh - and the cost was extremely reasonable and competitive!
