Storm Window Options
Storm windows, screens, and other protective devices can save valuable preparation time when a hurricane watch or warning has been issued. Have a professional install accordion shutters or roll-down shutters of plywood, aluminum, Plexiglas or steel. Make sure large, open entrances to patios and sunrooms can be sealed off with roll-down screens or aluminum slats. Replace windows with storm windows that can withstand hurricane-force winds. These windows are made from two panes of glass melded together by a sheet of tinted laminate. Laminated glass doesn’t shatter into shards, it breaks into little pieces held in place by the PVB layer, similar to a windshield. Glass Doctor now carries StormArmor™ Windows from MI Windows and Doors, which meet the strict Miami-Dade County, Fla. building standards. StormArmor™ windows have a 10-year warranty on most parts, frame material and insulated glass panels.
