Windows are the most exposed part of a Florida home — and the single biggest upgrade for storm protection, energy bills, and comfort. Impact windows wrap laminated glass in a frame engineered to Florida's wind loads, so the same upgrade that holds up to a hurricane also keeps the heat out, the street noise down, and intruders away every other day of the year.
Each opening in your home has an ideal window. Every style below is hurricane-rated with laminated glass and built to Florida Building Code — the difference is how it opens, ventilates, and frames your view.
The most popular and economical style. Only the bottom sash slides up while the top stays fixed — clean lines, fewer moving seals, and full laminated-glass protection for bedrooms and traditional facades.
Best value for most roomsBoth sashes move, and most tilt inward so you can clean the outside glass from inside — ideal for second-story and hard-to-reach openings where ventilation control and easy cleaning matter.
Easy clean · top & bottom airflowHinged on the side and cranked outward, a casement seals tight against the frame for the best air-seal of any style — excellent against wind-driven rain, and it scoops a breeze into kitchens and living spaces.
Tightest seal · catches the breezeSashes glide horizontally on a reinforced track — perfect for wide openings that are taller than they are short. Smooth to operate, low-profile, and a natural fit for modern Florida rooms and patios.
Wide views · effortless glideA fixed, frameless-look pane that doesn't open — so it delivers the widest unobstructed view, the most daylight, and the strongest energy seal. Pairs beautifully with operable windows on either side.
Max view · max light · max efficiencyHinged at the top and opening outward from the bottom, an awning window vents even during light Florida rain. Great high on a wall or over a kitchen sink for privacy plus airflow.
Vents in the rain · privacyA multi-panel projection that extends outward to create a light-filled focal point and a built-in interior ledge. Combines fixed and operable impact panels for drama, daylight, and full storm protection.

When something hits it, the glass can crack — but it stays anchored to the interlayer and the frame instead of falling away, so the opening never becomes a hole for wind and debris. That same laminated build is what gives impact windows their security and sound-dampening edge.
Real impact windows aren't just thick glass — they're a tested system carrying a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA, installed under permit and rated for the wind pressure at your address. That paper trail is what passes inspection and unlocks your insurance credit.
Each unit carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number proving it passed impact testing.
Glass tested against a flying 2x4 at storm speed — the standard for Florida's wind-borne-debris zones.
We spec the DP rating your wind zone requires, so the window holds under hurricane pressure loads.
We pull the Orlando / Orange County permit, install to spec, and pass inspection — documented for insurance.
Both protect against storms. Only one protects every day — and disappears into the wall when the sky is clear.
| Feature | Impact Windows | Hurricane Shutters |
|---|---|---|
| Protection | Always on, 24/7 — laminated glass stays in the frame on impact. | Strong, but only when deployed — the glass behind is still ordinary. |
| Daily convenience | Nothing to do — never closed, full light and view all year. | Must be put up and taken down by hand before and after each storm. |
| Energy & noise | Lower bills & quieter — insulated low-E glass works every day. | No energy or noise benefit; many types darken the room when closed. |
| Insurance credit | Often qualifies for a wind-mitigation premium discount. | Can also qualify when rated and properly installed. |
| Home value | Adds resale value — a permanent, sought-after home upgrade. | Seen as storm gear; little to no effect on appraised value. |
| Effort during a storm | Zero — you're protected even if you're away. | Time and labor each time, and someone has to be home to do it. |
Every home is different, so we don't quote a number over the phone — but these are the factors that shape your project price, and the exact figure comes from a free in-home measure.
More windows and larger openings mean more material and labor. Whole-home projects also unlock the strongest financing and per-unit value.
A standard single-hung costs less than a casement, a multi-panel sliding unit, or an architectural bay & bow. Style mix is one of the biggest levers.
Higher design-pressure ratings, upgraded low-E or sound packages, and tinted or obscure glass all shift the price for the performance you want.
Older Orlando openings can need new framing, stucco repair, or fresh buck work. We assess this on site so the quote is firm, not a surprise.

There is no single best type — the right impact window depends on the opening. Single-hung and double-hung windows suit most bedrooms and traditional facades, casement windows seal tightest against wind-driven rain and catch a breeze, sliding windows fit wide horizontal openings, and picture windows maximize the view and light. Every style we install in Orlando uses laminated impact glass rated to Florida Building Code, so storm protection is consistent across the home. At your free in-home measure we recommend the best mix for each room, your view, and your budget.
In a single-hung window only the bottom sash moves up and down; the top sash is fixed. In a double-hung window both sashes move, and most tilt inward so you can clean the outside glass from inside the home. Single-hung windows usually cost less and have one fewer moving seal, while double-hung windows offer more ventilation control and easier cleaning on upper floors. Both use the same laminated impact glass and Florida-rated frame, so storm protection is identical — the choice comes down to budget, ventilation, and cleaning preference.
For most Orlando homeowners, yes. Impact windows protect the home 24/7 with nothing to put up before a storm, while shutters must be deployed by hand every time a system approaches. Impact windows also work all year — laminated low-E glass lowers energy bills, cuts outside noise, and adds security and home value, and they often qualify for the same wind-mitigation insurance credit as shutters. Shutters cost less up front and can protect existing windows, but they offer none of the everyday benefits. We help you weigh both at a free assessment.
Standard double-pane glass is two panes with an air or gas gap for insulation; when it breaks, it shatters and the opening is exposed. Laminated impact glass bonds a tough polymer interlayer (PVB or SGP) between the panes, so when it's struck the glass cracks but stays anchored in the frame — it doesn't leave a hole for wind and debris. Impact units also pair that laminated glass with a reinforced, anchored frame tested to Florida's design-pressure and large-missile standards. Many impact windows are also insulated and low-E, so you get the energy savings of double-pane plus true storm protection.
Yes. Replacing windows with impact units in the City of Orlando or unincorporated Orange County requires a building permit and inspection, because the work changes the structural opening and must meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements. We pull the permit, install to spec, and schedule the inspection for you — and that documented, code-compliant install is also what supports your wind-mitigation insurance credit. You don't have to handle any of the paperwork yourself.
Cost depends on a handful of factors: how many windows you're replacing, the size of each opening, the window type (a large bay or bow costs more than a standard single-hung), the glass package, and any structural prep an older opening needs. Because every home is different, we give a firm, line-item price at a free in-home measure instead of a guess over the phone. Qualified homeowners can finance 100% of the project with $0 down, no minimum credit score, and no payment for 24 months. Call (689) 219-5507 to schedule your free quote.

Replacing aging single-pane or worn aluminum windows with laminated impact units is one of the most common projects we do in Orlando. Signs it's time: foggy or drafty windows, sashes that stick, rising energy bills, or simply wanting real hurricane protection. We measure your existing openings, pull the permit, and retrofit impact windows into the same openings where possible — clean, code-compliant, and documented for your insurer.
