Sunshine is a year-round staple that Floridians and tourists enjoy. However, when it comes to your home installations and energy consumption, the year-round sunshine can be a little too harsh.

Windows—all homes have them, but not all are designed to withstand heavy impacts. Windows are a part of the home’s envelope, but the average single pane window is fragile and can be broken on impact. 

Window and door dealers are each unique and have something different to offer their customers.

Upgrading your windows and doors with new energy efficient, high performance installations sometimes results in some interior window and door condensation. 

Hurricane season will come and go leaving damage and destruction including strong winds, storm surges, floods and tornadoes in its path. The affected area may not be back to normal by the time next season rolls around, making it nearly impossible to ever fully restore and recover in a timely manner.

Waiting in the never ending gas and grocery lines to stock up on gasoline, canned goods, water jugs and generators is an inevitable part of living in Florida during hurricane season; but does boarding up your windows and doors have to be, too?

Hurricane season is inevitable when you live in Florida. You may not be able to avoid the storm, but you can take the stress out of it by taking precautions to protect your home from the damaging winds and windborne debris. 

Whether it’s boarding up your windows or installing impact windows, hurricane protection is a necessity in Florida!

Flying debris can break regular non-impact windows, sometimes causing sudden internal pressurization within your home which can result in your roof being dismantled. 

Window and door shopping shouldn’t be a one and done deal. It should be carefully considered and thoroughly researched.

The trouble comes when you shop for newer, replacement installations without a plan, or at the very least an idea, of what is best suited to your needs.

Floridians can all agree that hurricanes pack a powerful punch to the homes in their path.
