Homes across Boca Raton sit inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where the glass is the first thing tested when a system moves through. Laminated impact units keep the building envelope sealed even after the outer pane breaks — and it is the pressure change after a breach, not the broken pane itself, that causes most catastrophic storm damage.
Installation is most of the performance
A correctly rated window fitted into an unrepaired opening will never reach the number on its sticker. Anchor spacing, shim placement and a properly sealed perimeter are what let the assembly perform to its rating, which is why the crew matters as much as the brand on the frame.
Insurance and wind mitigation
A wind mitigation inspection after a full opening-protection upgrade often moves the premium enough to matter. Ask for the mitigation form to be completed once the work passes, and keep the product approval paperwork with it.
