Impact picture windows are large, fixed hurricane-resistant windows designed specifically for South Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). These non-operable windows feature laminated impact glass that can withstand Category 5 hurricane winds and flying debris, providing essential storm protection while maximizing unobstructed views and natural light.
Picture windows are fixed in place and do not open, which means they have no moving parts, hinges, or sliding mechanisms. This fixed installation provides superior structural integrity and the ability to span larger openings than operable windows. When manufactured with impact resistant glass, they become ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, and any space where you want to showcase scenic views without needing ventilation. They’re perfect for Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County homes that prioritize panoramic views and natural light along with hurricane protection.
