Our premium hurricane windows transform homes into secure fortresses while reducing monthly energy costs through advanced insulation technology - particularly important in Largo's climate, where summer temperatures regularly hit 90°F and winter lows can dip to 54°F. We exclusively partner with industry leaders like PGT, CGI, and WinDoor to provide the highest quality impact-resistant windows available, all Miami-Dade County approved and tested to withstand Category 5 hurricane conditions.
Our hurricane-proof windows feature commercial-grade aluminum frames with multi-point locking systems and impact-resistant laminated glass that's undergone rigorous ASTM testing. Given Largo's location between Tampa Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, we specifically select materials rated for high-velocity hurricane zones and salt-water exposure. Each installation is backed by our comprehensive 20-year warranty, one of the most robust in the industry.
Our master craftsmen secure each window using structural silicone glazing and marine-grade stainless steel fasteners, creating a reliable barrier against wind speeds up to 175 mph - surpassing Florida Building Code requirements by 40%. As active members of the International Window Film Association and the American Architectural Manufacturers Association, we stay current with the latest installation techniques and safety standards.
Our hurricane windows utilize state-of-the-art Low-E Cardinal glass with argon gas fill and warm-edge spacer technology, achieving industry-leading Solar Heat Gain Coefficients as low as 0.22. This advanced glazing system, certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council, delivers exceptional performance in Largo's humid subtropical climate, where summer temperatures can reach 100°F and cooling costs typically peak from June through September.
As authorized dealers for leading manufacturers like PGT and CGI, we offer exclusive access to their premium product lines with enhanced energy-saving features. Our windows consistently earn ENERGY STAR certification, and our installation teams maintain AAMA Installation Masters certification, ensuring every project meets the highest standards for energy efficiency and structural integrity.
Tampa Hurricane Windows provides an extensive selection of impact-resistant products, each custom-manufactured to exact specifications in state-of-the-art facilities. Our product lines have earned Florida Product Approval numbers and Miami-Dade NOAs (Notice of Acceptance), guaranteeing compliance with the most stringent building codes in the nation.
Our premium impact windows feature heavy-duty 6063-T6 aluminum frames with thermal breaks and reinforced corners, each independently tested to ASTM E1886 and E1996 protocols. The frames undergo additional quality control testing at our local facility in Pinellas County, ensuring they meet specifications for Largo's coastal environment. Our installation teams complete manufacturer-specific training programs annually, maintaining certifications from both PGT and CGI Universities.
We source our materials exclusively from ISO 9001-certified manufacturers, ensuring consistent quality across every component. Each window undergoes a 27-point inspection before installation, and our quality control team performs follow-up evaluations at 30, 90, and 180 days post-installation.
Our laminated glass systems incorporate SentryGlas® Plus interlayers, offering five times the strength of traditional PVB interlayers. The glass undergoes rigorous impact testing, including large missile impact tests with 9-pound 2x4 lumber projected at 50 feet per second. This level of protection is crucial for Largo homes, particularly in flood-prone areas near McKay Creek and Allen's Creek watersheds.
Our master installers are certified in structural silicone glazing techniques by Dow Corning, ensuring proper adhesion and long-term durability. Each installation includes marine-grade stainless steel fasteners and structural sealants tested for compatibility with our window systems.
