Benefits of Impact Windows in Miami
Hurricane Protection
Miami's location in Hurricane Alley means your home faces significant storm risk. Impact windows provide Category 5 protection (175+ mph winds) without the hassle of storm shutters. During Hurricane Irma, homes with impact windows sustained minimal damage while traditional windows shattered, causing catastrophic interior water damage and mold. Impact windows protect 24/7/365—no boarding up, no last-minute preparations.
Insurance Discounts
Installing impact windows qualifies you for substantial homeowners insurance discounts in Florida. Expect 15-45% reduction on wind/hurricane coverage, depending on your policy and coverage area. For a typical Miami home with $2,500 annual premium, that's $375-$1,125 saved every year. Over 20 years, savings can exceed $20,000.
Energy Efficiency
Miami's intense heat and year-round air conditioning make energy efficiency critical. Impact windows with Low-E glass block 99% of UV rays and reduce solar heat gain by 40-60%. This translates to 25-30% lower cooling costs—$600-$1,200 annual savings for average homes. Your AC runs less frequently, extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance.
Noise Reduction
Laminated impact glass dramatically reduces outside noise. Live near busy streets, airports, or nightlife? Impact windows reduce noise by 50-60 decibels—transforming your home into a peaceful sanctuary. Perfect for Miami Beach, Brickell, and other urban areas with constant activity.
UV Protection
Miami's intense sunlight fades furniture, flooring, and artwork rapidly. Impact windows block 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your interior investments. Your furniture, carpets, and curtains will last years longer without sun damage or discoloration.
Security & Forced Entry Protection
Impact windows provide excellent security against break-ins. The laminated glass is extremely difficult to penetrate—even after multiple strikes, glass remains intact within the frame. Many insurance companies offer burglary discounts for impact window-equipped homes.
No More Storm Shutters
Eliminate the hassle, cost, and aesthetic impact of storm shutters. Impact windows provide 24/7 hurricane protection without covering your views or requiring storage space. No more struggling with heavy shutters or paying for annual installation/removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do impact windows cost in Miami?
Impact windows in Miami cost $450-$1,100 per window installed, depending on size, style, and glass options. Whole-house projects range from $8,000-$40,000+ based on home size. Single-hung windows are most affordable ($450-$750), while specialty windows like bays cost $2,500-$5,000+. Costs include materials, labor, permits, and installation.
Do impact windows really work in hurricanes?
Yes, impact windows are engineered to withstand Category 5 hurricanes (175+ mph winds) and wind-borne debris. They're tested by striking with 2x4 lumber at 50 mph nine times. Miami-Dade NOA-approved windows must withstand 9,000+ cycles of pressure testing equivalent to 175 mph winds. During Hurricane Irma, homes with impact windows sustained minimal damage.
What's the difference between impact windows and hurricane shutters?
Impact windows provide 24/7 protection without installation before storms, while shutters must be deployed for each storm. Impact windows offer year-round benefits: energy savings, noise reduction, UV protection, and enhanced security. Shutters block views and natural light when deployed. Over time, impact windows are more cost-effective and convenient than shutters.
Will impact windows lower my insurance?
Yes, impact windows qualify for 15-45% discounts on wind/hurricane insurance coverage in Florida. Savings average $375-$1,125 annually for typical Miami homes. You'll need Miami-Dade NOA documentation and final inspection approval. Some insurers also offer discounts for forced-entry resistance. Contact your insurance company for exact savings.
How long do impact windows last?
Quality impact windows last 20-30+ years with minimal maintenance. The laminated glass is warranted 10-20 years, while vinyl frames last 20-30 years. Aluminum frames can last 30-40 years. Regular cleaning and occasional lubrication of moving parts ensure optimal longevity. Many manufacturers offer lifetime warranties on specific components.
Do I need permits for impact windows in Miami?
Yes, all window replacements in Miami-Dade County require building permits. Permits cost $500-$2,000 depending on project scope. We handle all permitting, Miami-Dade NOA documentation, and final inspections. Permits ensure code compliance and are required for insurance discounts and home resale.
Can impact windows be tinted?
Yes, impact windows are available with tinted glass in bronze, gray, or blue. Tinting provides additional solar heat reduction (beyond Low-E glass) and enhanced privacy. Some homeowners combine tinting with Low-E coating for maximum energy efficiency. Custom tinting options are available through most manufacturers.
How long does impact window installation take?
Single window replacement takes 2-4 hours. Whole-house projects (15-20 windows) typically complete in 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Large sliding doors take 4-6 hours each. We work room-by-room to minimize disruption. Your home remains secure and weather-tight throughout installation.
Are impact windows energy efficient?
Yes, impact windows with Low-E glass reduce cooling costs by 25-30% in Miami. They block 99% of UV rays and reduce solar heat gain by 40-60%. This keeps homes cooler, reduces AC runtime, and extends HVAC lifespan. Energy Star rated impact windows provide the best efficiency and may qualify for tax credits.

PGT and CGI (Coastal Glass & Industries) are the top two brands in South Florida.
