Frequently Asked Questions

Which hurricane window brand is best?

There is no “best” impact window brand, but there is a “best for you” impact window brand. Depending on the location of your home, the specific options you want, and the time of year, the best impact window brand to use may change dramatically.

The location of your home
If you live within 2 miles of the ocean, you will need Kynar/Dynar coating. Windows near the salt water are most likely to rust more rapidly than any other area. Kynar and Dynar coatings are rust-resistant coatings that protect your windows from the salinity of the air around the sea, which keep your windows looking great and working well for years.

The options you want
Some manufacturers may offer options such as Low-E and tint for much less. Whether your priority is energy efficiency, strength, or appearance, we can help you find the brand with the best prices for your particular needs.

The time of year
Different manufacturers offer different prices and specials throughout the year. Since we work with six different manufacturers, we can provide you with the best prices on specific configurations.

Although we will say in most cases, the best window brand for cost-effectiveness is ES Windows, as the offer the strongest hurricane windows at prices comparable to base model windows from other manufacturers.

What impact window options are available?

Some of the most common options are:

– Low-E
– Tints
– Screens
– Pressure upgrade
– Reinforced aluminum
– Kynar/Dynar coating
– Obscured/Frosted glass

But some manufacturers offer options that others do not, and some can charge more for some options. It’s best to understand your priorities and needs, and we can help you find the right brand to use based on current prices.

What is Kynar, Dynar, and Durastar coating, and what does it do?

Kynar, Dynar, and Durastar coatings, are rust-preventative coatings that slow the oxidation of the frames of your hurricane impact windows. These coatings are a must for homes that are within two miles of the ocean.

What is Low-E (Low Emissivity) coating?

Low-E coatings are three layers of silver coating which are painted on the interlayer of the impact window. Low-E reduces the SHGC rating of your impact window and can make your windows up to 20% more energy efficient. For more information on Low-E

What is Solar Heat Gain Coefficient?

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures how well a window can absorb or deflect solar radiation or heat. Solar radiation can make your home hotter during the summer; the lower the SHGC rating, the better the impact window will be at keeping your home cool during the summer months.

Lower SHGC is especially useful during a power outage after a hurricane, where air conditioning is unavailable, or using a portable AC. Windows with a lower SGHC can reduce your electricity bills throughout the year as your AC doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home cool.

What is the best way to tell the strength of an impact window?

While no windows are tested to be any stronger than other windows, one of the best ways to tell the strength of a window is the positive and negative pressure rating. Windows with higher pressure tolerances can withstand greater wind speeds and larger projectiles.

In almost all cases, any hurricane window that Florida HVHZ or Miami-Dade approves will protect your home during a storm, and differences in strength are minimal. If you’re interested in strength alone, speak to us and ask us about upgrading the pressure tolerances of the window, and we can provide you with the best option for your needs.

Are there differences in strength between different styles of impact windows?

Yes, but they are mostly minimal. Fixed Glass, French Doors, and Sliding Glass Doors are typically rated to a lower positive and negative pressure than other options. Larger panes of glass do not have as much support as smaller-sized windows.

There are some exceptions to this rule, such as ES Windows. ES Windows is one of the only manufacturers that offer 80+/80- pressure for all of their windows, regardless of the size.

What is Turtle Tint

Turtle tint is legally required for any homes that have windows that face the ocean. Lighting from homes can confuse newly hatched turtles and make them walk towards homes instead of the ocean.

Can I combine hurricane windows and accordion shutters

Absolutely! Many of our customers choose to use both hurricane windows and accordion shutters to reduce the overall price of protecting their homes from hurricanes.

Some of the most common configurations that people do are:

Customers will use hurricane windows in the front of their home, and hurricane accordion shutters on all other sides of the home.

Customers will use hurricane windows on windows that are hard to reach, such as glass-block windows and top story windows with no easy access

Customers will use hurricane windows in the front and back of their homes, especially with properties that face the ocean, intercoastal, or a beach.

Customers will use impact windows on smaller windows, while accordion shutters are used for oversized windows.

Customers will use hurricane windows for all windows while sliding glass doors with accordion shutters.

What are the current timelines for hurricane windows

Due to supply-chain issues, many brands of impact windows have increased their timelines significantly. ES Windows is one of the top choices for South Florida homeowners because they are presently the only hurricane window provider that has not increased their timelines and is giving far more options for the money.

Timelines for ES Windows: 13-16 weeks from order date.
Timelines for all other brands: could be longer than 24-32 months.

Is thicker impact glass stronger

The thickness of impact glass has a minimal effect on the strength of the impact window. One of the most reliable ways to determine the strength of impact glass is the positive and negative pressure ratings. Positive and negative pressure ratings are the overall strength of the impact glass and how much pressure it can tolerate before breaking.

What is a Notice of Acceptance (NOA)

An NOA, or Notice of Acceptance is a document that is provided by a governing body such as Miami-Dade, which certifies that a Hurricane Protection product is approved for use within the governing body’s jurisdiction. The NOA also describes how a product needs to be installed to work optimally, the positive and negative pressures that the hurricane window can withstand, and other information relevant to the hurricane protection products design and engineering. Here are an example of a few of ES Windows NOAs from Miami-Dade County.

What is Heat-Strength Glass, and is it stronger?

Heat-Strength Glass is typically twice as strong as typical impact-resistant annealed glass. Using heat-strength glass alone does not make the impact window twice as strong, but it will increase the positive and negative pressure of the window by around 25%. This typically results in a significantly stronger impact window. Most window manufacturers charge around 10%-20% more for heat-strength glass hurricane impact windows, but specifically with ES Windows, this option is included as a standard.

How are hurricane windows made?

Impact glass (also called laminated glass) is made by placing a piece of Polyvinyl Butral (PVB) between two panes of glass.

Impact glass is constructed of glass similar to the safety glass used in car windshields. In the case of impact, the glass will still break; however, it is held in place by the PVB and stops the objects from penetrating. This construction is extremely difficult to break through and keeps your home closed and safe in the case of a hurricane.

All of our suppliers use Cardinal Glass due to their dependability and proven effectiveness. Even PGT uses up to 25% of their glass from Cardinal (with the rest being produced in house).
