Impact Windows
& Doors
Buyer's Guide
Everything you need to understand impact-resistant openings for South Florida properties — from glass technology and frame systems to certification standards and hurricane ratings.
Window Styles
The bottom sash slides vertically for ventilation while the top remains fixed. The most common window type in Florida residential construction.
Side-hinged sash opens outward via a crank handle. Provides maximum ventilation and a very tight seal when closed — ideal for coastal properties.
Non-operable panel maximizes natural light and unobstructed views. Often combined with operable units on each side. Highest structural integrity.
One or both sashes glide horizontally on tracks. Low-profile, easy to operate, and fits wide horizontal openings perfectly.
Top-hinged sash opens outward from the bottom, creating a natural rain shield. Allows ventilation even during Florida's afternoon showers.
Solid-core or glass-panel entry doors with multi-point locking systems and reinforced frames. Available as single, double, or with sidelites.
Impact & Wind Ratings
| Rating / Standard | Wind Speed | What it means | Required in | Bar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DP-50 | 150 mph | Design Pressure rating 50 — the baseline for most Florida building codes. Suitable for Broward & Palm Beach residential use. | Broward · Palm Beach | |
| DP-70 | 180 mph | Higher design pressure for taller buildings or more exposed coastal locations. Required above the 30-ft threshold in HVHZ zones. | Coastal zones · High-rise | |
| HVHZ | 175–200 mph | High Velocity Hurricane Zone — the strictest building standard in the US. Mandatory for all Miami-Dade and Broward County new construction and replacements. | Miami-Dade · Broward | |
| NOA | Product-specific | Notice of Acceptance from Miami-Dade County. The gold standard certification proving a product has passed the most rigorous testing for large and small missile impact, cyclic wind pressure, and water infiltration. | Miami-Dade required | |
| PGD Class | Varies by class | Product Grading Designation — classifies windows by overall performance including structural, water, and air infiltration. Classes range from R (residential) to AW (architectural). | Commercial · Multi-family |
Glass Technology
Two glass layers bonded with a PVB interlayer. When broken, shards adhere to the film — no dangerous projectiles. The foundation of all impact glazing.
Metallic coating on the inner surface reflects infrared heat. Reduces solar heat gain by up to 70% — critical in South Florida for energy savings and comfort.
Two laminated panes separated by a sealed air or argon gas space. Maximizes thermal insulation and dramatically reduces exterior noise — ideal near airports or highways.
Bronze, gray, or blue-green tints reduce visible light transmittance and solar glare. Available in multiple opacity levels while maintaining full impact certification.
