Hurricane Impact Windows in Fort Lauderdale,FL
One Storm Is All It Takes

What Are Hurricane Impact Windows?
Hurricane impact windows are not regular glass with a sticker. They are engineered systems built to survive the worst South Florida can throw at them.
Each window is constructed with two layers of tempered or heat-strengthened glass bonded to a durable interlayer — typically PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or SGP (SentryGlas Plus). When struck by debris or extreme wind pressure, the glass may crack, but it will not shatter into your home. The interlayer holds everything in place.
They are tested and certified to meet Florida Building Code, including the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) standards that apply to Broward County and the greater Fort Lauderdale area.
In short: these windows are built to take a hit so your family does not have to.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homes Need Impact Windows — Not Just Shutters
Fort Lauderdale sits directly in South Florida's hurricane corridor. Since 2000, Broward County has been impacted by or placed under watch for over a dozen named storms, including Wilma, Irma, and Ian.
Shutters help — but they have serious limitations:
They require manual installation before every storm (sometimes with only hours of warning)
They leave your home dark and ventilation-limited during extended outages
They do nothing for everyday security, UV exposure, or noise
Accordion shutters can fail if not maintained annually
Plywood provides minimal structural protection and zero security
Impact windows eliminate all of these problems permanently.
6 Reasons Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Choose Impact Windows
Wind Resistance Up to 200+ MPH
Certified impact windows are engineered to meet and exceed Florida Building Code wind-load requirements for Broward County's HVHZ zone. Even a direct Category 4 hit does not have to mean broken glass inside your home.
Year-Round Security — No Setup Required
Unlike shutters, impact windows are always active. No prep. No storage. No worrying whether you got the shutters up in time before a surprise storm makes landfall.
Significant Insurance Premium Savings
Many Florida homeowners insurance carriers offer discounts of 15% to 45% when you install certified impact-rated windows and doors throughout your home. In a state where insurance rates are climbing every year, this alone can make a strong financial case.
Lower Energy Bills Every Month
Fort Lauderdale summers are brutal. Impact windows are low-E coated and thermally insulated, which means less solar heat transfer into your home. Most homeowners see a measurable reduction in their air conditioning costs after installation.
Blocks Up to 99% of UV Rays
UV radiation bleaches furniture, warps hardwood floors, and fades artwork. Impact glass filters out the vast majority of UV rays without affecting your views or the amount of natural light in your home.
Noise Reduction You Will Notice Immediately
Whether you live near US-1, Federal Highway, or a busy neighborhood in Flagler Village or Tarpon River, the acoustic dampening of laminated impact glass noticeably quiets your home — something no hurricane shutter has ever done.
Impact Window Options We Install in Fort Lauderdale
Every property is different. Assured Contracting, LLC offers a full range of impact window styles to match your home's architecture, your HOA guidelines, and your budget.
Single-Hung Impact Windows
The most common style in Fort Lauderdale residential properties. The bottom sash opens for airflow; the top stays fixed. Clean, classic, and cost-effective.
Casement Impact Windows
Hinged on the side, these open outward like a door. They provide maximum airflow and an unobstructed view — popular in waterfront homes along the Intracoastal.
Sliding Impact Windows
One panel glides horizontally over the other. A practical, space-saving option for rooms where an outward-swinging sash isn't ideal.
Fixed Picture Windows
Non-operable windows designed to frame a view. Floor-to-ceiling picture windows in impact glass are stunning in modern Fort Lauderdale homes and condos.
Awning Impact Windows
Hinged at the top and opening outward from the bottom, these can stay open even in light rain — great for kitchen or bathroom ventilation.
Custom & Specialty Shapes
Arched windows, bay windows, transom windows, and other architectural shapes are all available in impact-rated glass. We custom-order to fit your home exactly.
