Impact Resistant Windows
Hurricane Preparedness is a large part of the lifestyle here in Palm Beach County. While there are many perks such as the tropical weather, there are some downsides like hurricane season. It’s a stressful time for everyone as they rush to prepare for the incoming storm. Many people end up taking multiple days off before the storm in order to assemble everything. Impact windows are year-round protection that requires zero preparation once they are installed. You don’t have to wait until the last minute to put up shutters or board your home with plywood when you have impact glass. Max Guard Hurricane Windows & Doors can help make hurricane season a little bit less stressful for you with hurricane proof windows.
Some people are intimidated by the price tag that comes with the windows despite thinking they sound like a good idea. Instead, they invest their money into lower-priced shutters which don’t have the same benefits that hurricane windows do. Impact windows are used year-round and can benefit homeowners beyond the hurricane season.
Investment
While the upfront price for hurricane windows might be daunting, it’s a significant investment into your property here in Palm Beach County. Due to the hurricane season, a home with this type of security protection does much better on the market. Upgrading your windows increases the overall value of your home tremendously as this is quickly becoming the new standard for homes. It’s essential to protect your property and windows are often the weakest links in a home. By installing hurricane-resistant windows, you are eliminating the problem from your home and making it more appealing.
Energy Efficient
These windows can also help cut down on monthly electricity bills within a home. In Florida, it’s prevalent to have Air Conditioning on all year round, even in the winter. These windows can assist in cutting back on your energy usage thanks to the thick Impact Glass. It is incredibly energy-efficient as it reduces the amount of incoming heat that would usually enter through thinner windows. Another standard feature with hurricane windows is a lack of leaks, as that could be a vulnerability in a hurricane. This feature keeps the cold air inside because of the way it’s secured, so it bypasses the air leakage that is common in windows. The glass also protects from UV rays, which helps keep your family, pets, and furniture safe while indoors.
Safety Year Round
Due to the strength and thickness of these windows, they are created to endure damage from a category five hurricane. This feature makes the windows impenetrable and protects all year long from potential break-ins. These windows make it impossible for intruders to enter your home through your windows. Impact resistant windows are also custom fitted for your home.
Savings
Beyond the value of your home increasing, there are some benefits homeowners are eligible for when they install hurricane resistant windows. There are opportunities for certain tax credits which serve to reward people who become more energy efficient. Because of the reduced risk of hurricane damage and robberies, there are also insurance benefits that can be explored.
