Even though it officially ended November 30, hurricane season is right around the corner…again!

June for most people means barbecues, summer vacations, sunny days, and warm summer nights—but for Floridians or anyone on the gulf coast, it means the beginning of dreaded hurricane season. June 1st will be here before you know it, so to prevent being unprepared in the face of a storm, we recommend you start making your hurricane preparations now. That includes making a storm kit, putting a few extra sandbags in the garage, and most importantly, hurricane-proofing your home with impact resistant windows.

A suggested style is the Impact Single Hung Window. It has an aluminum frame and laminated impact resistant glass. Impact Single Hung windows are available in a variety of styles that can complement whatever existing architectural style your home is. In addition to its exceptional security, Impact Single Hung Windows offer great sound control. You can even have them tinted to minimize heat and UV penetration, something that any homeowner in Florida could benefit from this summer.

Impact windows are a fantastic first step to hurricane proofing your home, but if you’d like an added level of security, impact resistant doors and shutters will give you the peace of mind you need this storm season.
