How are impact resistant windows different from regular windows?

Impact-resistant windows use multiple glass layers bonded by a clear interlayer (similar to a car windshield). If struck, the glass may crack but stays attached to the interlayer, helping block wind, rain, and intruders – unlike standard glass that shatters into sharp pieces.

Do I still need shutters if I install hurricane impact windows?

With properly rated hurricane impact windows, most Broward homeowners skip traditional shutters. Many still choose them as an extra layer, but code-approved impact units are built for year-round protection without last-minute boarding up.

Are impact windows required in Broward County?

Much of Broward lies in Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). For new builds and permitted replacements, openings typically must use approved products. Requirements can vary by project, so it’s smart to confirm with your local building department, or ask us; we work with Broward impact windows every day.

Can impact windows lower insurance premiums or energy bills?

Many insurers offer credits for verified opening protection; check your policy and consider a wind-mitigation inspection. On the energy side, tight seals, laminated glass, and optional low-E coatings help reduce heat transfer and outside noise – comfort now, potential savings long-term.

How long does installation take for impact windows Broward projects?

Lead times depend on permitting and manufacturing, but typical homes see installation completed in 1–3 days once materials arrive. We handle measurement, permitting, delivery, and clean, code-compliant installation from start to finish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After getting three estimates for hurricane windows and doors I felt very comfortable going with All Weather Protective Systems. Chris was very patient in answering all my questions and was able to help me decide what would work best for my needs. The crew that installed the windows were kind, courteous, and professional. They were able to install 4 doors and all the windows in 2 days. They did a wonderful job and always cleaned up after the job. The completed job passed inspection with the city without any problems. I am so happy I chose this company and am amazed how new updated windows and doors can change the way you feel about your home. I would recommend this company to anyone needing new windows and doors.
