Laminated glass is used to make impact windows. It resists high winds, wind-borne debris, and forced entry. The most vulnerable part of an exterior home’s exterior envelope is often glass in doors and windows.
Living in Florida, you should expect hurricanes to hit land. So, having glass that resists the force of high-speed winds can ‘safely’ be considered a no-brainer. Hurricane shutters, on the other hand, while do provide limited protection for deflecting some debris from getting into your home through the windows, it doesn’t protect the glass in the windows in any way. This is a huge threat to anyone near windows during hurricane winds or other high-wind weather as glass can still shatter and go flying in every direction within your home.
Wind-borne debris can often penetrate the building envelope during hurricanes. This causes wind pressure to rise dramatically inside the building. This internal pressure can cause severe structural damage and even lead to the total structural collapse of the building. In hurricane-prone areas, wind-borne debris protection is mandatory. The most efficient of all these solutions, hurricane impact windows and doors are the best and offer many benefits for the homeowner.
