High Impact Windows & Hurricane Resistant Shutters > Fort Lauderdale > Broward County

In hurricane prone Broward county, protecting your home is important. Opting for total protection, this customer ordered hurricane resistant accordian shutters for both her windows and doors. Combining the shutters with the high impact windows, she may have reduced her Fort Lauderdale home owner’s insurance premium.

All of the Fort Lauderdale high impact windows and hurricane resistant accordian shutters we install are fully compliant with Miami-Dade county’s building code compliance office. This means that regardless of whether you live in Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach county, your windows and shutters will meet the strictest requirements for hurricane survival in the country! The following tests have been performed for all of our hurricane resistant windows:

Air Infiltration Tests. Called out by FBC, TAS 202-94, this spec. mandates only a certain amount of air is allowed to “leak” in or out of the window. Meeting this specification is why you will find your heating and cooling bills reduced when you install high impact resistant windows.

Uniform Static Air Pressure Tests. Called out by FBC, TAS 202-94, passing this test ensures that your impact resistant windows will be able to withstand at least this much wind pressure constantly blowing into your house, as well as this much pressure pushing out of your house. Even in Fort Lauderdale, this is important as extreme weather events can cause a sudden drop in air pressure around your house that your windows and doors need to be able to withstand.

Water Resistance Tests. Called out by FBC, TAS 202-94, your high impact windows and doors must remain water resistant. Even in the middle of a hurricane. Or some neighboorhood kids pretending to be Fort Lauderdale firemen.

Large Missile Impact Test. Called out by FBC, TAS 201-94, this specification is what truly makes a “high impact resistant window“. This is the spec. that makes all those videos of tables, chairs, trees, etc. bouncing off an intact window possible. By only using the highest quality suppliers available to Fort Lauderdale, we guarantee that we will meet or exceed the stringent requirements of this test.

Cyclic Wind Pressure Loading. Called out by FBC, Tas 203-94, these tests prove that your hurricane resistant windows, doors, and accordian shutters can withstand the alternating forces of low-high-low pressure that a hurricane creates.

Forced Entry Test. High impact windows are not just about safety from the elements. Specification FBC 2411 3.2.1, TAS 202-94 calls for protection against forced entry. Feel free to make your own youtube.com video of the frustrated would-be burglar whacking away ineffectually at your high impact resistant window with a baseball bat while the Fort Lauderdale police that you called arrive to take him away. Personally, I would suggest the Benny Hill theme song for the soundtrack of your new viral hit video.
