Impact awning windows are specialized hurricane-resistant windows designed specifically for South Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). These windows feature laminated impact glass that can withstand Category 5 hurricane winds and flying debris, providing essential storm protection without the need for shutters or plywood.
Awning windows open outward from the bottom, creating a protective awning effect that allows for ventilation even during light rain. When manufactured with impact resistant glass, they become a critical defense system for Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County homes.
