Retrofitting a Boca Raton home for storm season usually starts with the windows, and for good reason. Roof and door upgrades matter, but the glazed openings represent the largest continuous area of vulnerable envelope on a typical single-family build.
Impact glass versus shutters
Shutters protect an opening only while they are closed and correctly fastened. Impact units protect it permanently, including the afternoon nobody is home to prepare — which is the scenario that actually costs people their roof.
Installation is most of the performance
A correctly rated window fitted into an unrepaired opening will never reach the number on its sticker. Anchor spacing, shim placement and a properly sealed perimeter are what let the assembly perform to its rating, which is why the crew matters as much as the brand on the frame.
