IMPACT RESISTANT STORM SYSTEM
Biscayne Impact Resistant Windows and Doors combine heavy-duty aluminum frames with impact-resistant laminated glass. This glass may crack on impact, but the inter-layer keeps the glass intact, pre-venting destructive wind from entering your home.

Hurricane Research has proven that flying debris, not just high winds is the main cause of window failure resulting in the massive destruction of homes. Once flying objects pierce windows and doors, hurricane-force winds enter the home. Internal pressure causes the roof to blow off, resulting in massive wind and water damage. As a result, new laws were enacted to regulate and test windows & doors marketed as Impact Resistant. These products must be able to withstand initial flying debris impacts and then hold up against hurricane force wind gusts. Once these products pass the stringent tests, they can be classified as impact resistant approved. That is why every product we produce is tested to meet (or exceed) the most stringent building code guidelines set by Miami-Dade County and Florida building codes.

DETERRING INTRUDERS Complete Peace of Mind knowing you are safe in your home!

REDUCING NOISE Laminated glass acts as a great sound barrier against unwanted external sounds!

UV PROTECTION Prevents ultraviolet rays from damaging interior furnishings

Laminated Glass is two (or three) pieces of glass with a plastic film sandwiched between them.† Something like double-sided tape between them.If broken, glass fragments tend to adhere to the interlayer, reducing the potential for serious injuries.

Laminated Glass is a Safety Glazing Product that complies with the same safety specifications as tempered glass, but when something hits the glass it doesn't break into a million pieces like tempered glass and doesn’t have shards of glass falling like annealed (that means “regular”) glass.
