When it’s time to upgrade your home with new impact windows, knowing what to expect can make the process smoother and stress-free. Below is a step-by-step guide to a professional window installation, complete with key stages of the process. As you follow along, refer to the images to see how everything comes together for a seamless, high-quality installation.
The day begins with our crew arriving at your home, and you’ll be introduced to the foreman and the installation team. The foreman will walk you through the day’s plan, introduce the crew, and answer any last-minute questions. This introduction ensures you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
The crew will then organize the impact windows and doors at the job site. Proper staging ensures the materials are in place and easily accessible, so the installation process runs smoothly without delays. This is where preparation meets precision.

Protecting your property is a top priority. Our team will cover floors, furniture, and other nearby items with tarps and plastic sheeting, securing everything with tape to prevent dust and debris from spreading. This ensures your home remains clean and protected during the installation.

Step 4: Removing Old Windows and Doors
With your home protected, it’s time to remove the old windows and doors. The crew carefully dismantles them, ensuring there’s no damage to the surrounding areas. While demolition may seem noisy, rest assured we handle it with care and professionalism.

Step 5: Prepping the Openings
After the old windows are removed, the openings need to be prepped for the new ones. This involves installing new wood bucks—framing pieces that ensure a perfect fit for your new impact windows and doors. Proper preparation is key to a flawless installation.

Step 6: Installing the New Impact Windows and Doors
Now for the exciting part—the installation! The new impact windows and doors are carefully placed into the prepared openings. The crew checks for perfect alignment and levelness to ensure everything fits securely and looks great.

Step 7: Securing and Waterproofing
Once the new impact windows are in place, they are secured with specialty screws designed to hold them firmly. To ensure long-term protection from the elements, we apply waterproofing around the frames, sealing them to prevent leaks and drafts.

Step 8: Site and Window Cleanup
After the installation is complete, we clean up the job site, removing all debris, packaging, and protective coverings. The new impact windows and doors are wiped down to remove any dust or fingerprints, leaving them spotless and ready to enjoy.

The FBC requires windows to be impact-resistant or protected with shutters if located within one mile of the coast where the wind speed is 140 mph or greater during a storm. February, 2023
Many impact hurricane-resistant windows and doors from Armored Impact Windows and Doors are Energy Star rated and compliant. That means they are qualified for this tax credit. Most vinyl impact windows meet Energy Star requirements and are the type of impact window that best reduces your energy costs.

If more than 25% of the windows and/or doors in a pre-Florida Building Code home are being replaced and the windows/doors are NOT impact glass, the windows/doors are required to have opening protection (such as shutters). May, 2023
While impact windows aren’t indestructible, they are very hard to break. To get through, a burglar would create a ruckus and likely be caught. Breaking through impact windows typically proves to be considerable work and energy, forcing burglars to move on. May, 2023
5 Major Drawbacks of Metal Hurricane Shutters

Florida Building Code (FBC)
Impact windows are oftentimes worth the money. Though they’re typically more costly than standard windows, the impact options can reduce the price of your home insurance and help prevent costly home damages caused by storms. February, 2023
Impact windows lower homeowner’s insurance costs because they are designed to resist breaking when struck by wind-driven debris. They are typically made with double or even triple pane glass and, as an added bonus, they’re naturally energy-efficient. May, 2023
One of the best things you can do to increase your home’s value is by investing in impact windows and doors. Not only that, but impact windows and doors can also make your home a quieter and more efficient place to live. May, 2023
Impact windows are made from laminated glass or laminated insulating glass, which helps provide insulation and protection from unwanted heat loss and heat gain. The US Department of Energy indicates that the right type of windows can reduce solar heat gain and improve thermal performance. May, 2023
The average lead time is usually 6-12 weeks, depending on the products ordered. The issue, like many others right now, comes down to supply availability. Because impact windows use such specialized components, each order is custom-made at a factory. There are many impact windows manufacturers in South Florida.
