It’s easy to see why Florida is a favorite relocation and retirement destination. It has a beautiful climate, lots of sunshine, and pristine beaches. Unfortunately, it also has high humidity levels and hurricanes, some of which can be very destructive and cost millions of dollars in damages. Consequently, when it comes to protecting your home and its contents, V&V Windows hurricane impact windows and doors keep the bad weather outdoors where it belongs.
Product Benefits
There is always the debate between hurricane shutters and impact windows as to which is actually better. Although shutters are less expensive, the benefits of impact-resistant windows far outweigh the investment. Consider the following:
- Aesthetic appeal – these products look like regular windows so they don’t distract from your home’s appearance like hurricane shutters often do.
- Discounts on homeowner’s insurance – many insurers recognize the effectiveness of hurricane impact windows and will offer discounts on your monthly premiums.
- Energy efficiency – impact-resistant windows help to keep the heat inside in winter and reduce solar heat gain during the summer. This will keep the home cozy during the holiday season, adding to the warmth of festivities.
- Noise reduction – one of the most overlooked benefits of impact windows from V&V Windows is their noise reduction qualities which is ideal if you live near a busy highway or intersection.
- One and done installation – unlike hurricane shutters, once impact windows have been installed, there’s nothing left to do.
- UV protection – one of the health benefits of hurricane impact windows is their ability to protect you from the sun’s harsh UV (ultraviolet) rays.
In addition to installing impact-resistant windows for added storm protection, we suggest taking additional measures to ensure you and your family’s safety. This includes fueling up your generators, stocking your pantries and trimming dead or dying tree limbs.
Security During the Holidays
With the holiday season approaching, home security should be a priority. Fortunately, hurricane impact windows provide an additional layer of protections where your safety and security are met. When properly installed, these products provide a higher level of protection against burglaries and home invasions. The security feature of V&V Windows products is attributed to their dual pane construction. The two separate layers of glass are bonded together with an inner layer of resin making these windows almost shatter-proof. Thus, if you are going away during the holidays, you can be stress-free about the protection of your home.
This holiday season, make sure your home has the protection you need against burglars, vandals, high winds and flying debris. For additional information about our hurricane impact windows and doors, contact V&V Windows and speak with a company representative today 305.888.4151.
