At East Coast Windows, we’ve spent years helping Florida homeowners protect what matters most. In that time, we’ve seen a shift: people no longer want upgrades that serve only one purpose. They want solutions that protect, perform, and pay off—and impact glass does all three.
While most know it as a barrier against hurricanes, impact glass has evolved into something far more valuable. It’s not just a seasonal safeguard; it’s a daily upgrade to your comfort, energy efficiency, and property value. Whether you’re planning for the next storm or simply want to enhance your home’s look and livability, installing impact glass is a decision you’ll benefit from 365 days a year.
Curb Appeal and Comfort in One
Your home is more than a structure—it’s an extension of your style and identity. Any upgrade worth making should enhance both function and appearance. That’s where impact glass stands out. With PGT®’s advanced window systems, you’re no longer forced to choose between aesthetics and durability.
At East Coast Windows, we offer a range of customization options that allow homeowners to match their windows and doors to the character of their home. From contemporary frames with clean lines to traditional colonial grids, our impact glass installations are tailored to fit the architectural tone of your property. We also offer various tinting and low-E coating options, so you can manage sunlight without sacrificing visibility.
And let’s not forget about usability. Traditional storm shutters may offer protection, but they’re bulky, labor-intensive, and visually disruptive. With impact glass, the protection is permanent and passive—built right into your windows and doors. You never have to board up or take down again. Your home stays ready and protected, rain or shine, with nothing to store, haul, or struggle with when time is short.
This blend of function and form not only boosts your home’s visual appeal but also makes daily life more convenient. It’s a smart way to elevate your living space without taking anything away from it.
How Impact Glass Adds Home Value
When you invest in your home, you want more than just a temporary improvement—you want a return. And impact glass delivers.
From a resale perspective, homes with certified hurricane-rated windows are more attractive to buyers, particularly those relocating to Florida who may be unfamiliar with storm preparation. Instead of worrying about installing shutters or dealing with outdated windows, they see impact glass as a major upgrade already checked off the list. It’s a selling point that can set your home apart in a competitive market.
Then there’s the insurance factor. Many insurance providers offer discounts for homes equipped with approved impact-resistant systems. While the savings vary, the reduction in premiums can add up significantly over time—helping offset the cost of installation and increasing your overall ROI.
In addition, impact glass improves your home’s structural integrity, which can be especially important for older homes. By reinforcing the building envelope, it reduces the risk of internal pressurization during a hurricane—a major cause of roof and structural failure. For buyers and owners alike, that peace of mind is priceless.
Bottom line: impact glass doesn’t just protect—it enhances your property in ways that pay off financially, functionally, and emotionally.
