As a leading window and door manufacturer in China, we have participated in the construction of many whole-house window and door projects in coastal areas, and we are deeply aware of how important it is to have windows that can withstand extreme weather conditions. Strong winds and rainstorms do test the wind pressure resistance and sealing performance of doors and windows, and salt spray corrosion can also threaten their functionality. Poor-quality impact windows and doors can easily cause problems in your life!
All hurricane impact windows produced by Grandsea are certified to comply with the Florida Building Code (FBC). This certification ensures that Grandsea windows and doors meet the highest standards in hurricane resistance and commercial property safety.
Why impact windows are so important
Impact-resistant windows are crucial for home security. They provide additional protection against damage because they are designed to withstand severe weather. These windows use high-quality components, including tempered glass and robust aluminum alloy frames, which provide excellent durability.
We go above and beyond at Grandsea. U-shaped locking rods and mushroom head lock points are hallmarks of our design. These features not only increase safety but also withstand both positive and negative wind pressures. This design keeps the window sashes secure. In summary, Grandsea’s impact windows shield you from the unexpected effects of Mother Nature.
Best Aluminum Storm Windows
Aluminum windows are an ideal choice for storm windows. They are well-known for their strength and durability in extreme weather. They are lightweight and require minimal maintenance. The slim frames can accommodate larger glass sizes and allow more sunlight to enter the home. Although they are usually more expensive than uPVC windows, aluminum windows offer better performance and aesthetics.
Grandsea’s windows are made of durable anodized aluminum alloy, providing excellent corrosion resistance and longevity. The window profiles feature a multi-cavity design that combines strong structural engineering with advanced architectural mechanics. This innovative design is both durable and impact-resistant. Additionally, it offers robust support for the glass, enabling it to withstand tremendous wind pressure.

How Windows Resist Hurricanes: Construction and Design
Quality materials such as strengthened glass and sturdy frames are essential for structural toughness and durability. For instance, triple-glazed windows can insulate much better and withstand higher wind speeds than single-glazed windows. Laminated glass can successfully withstand storm impacts and prevent shattering even in extreme cases, thereby protecting you and your family.
In addition to the choice of materials, window design is also important. Reinforced corners and multiple seals can significantly improve wind resistance. We recommend sliding windows and tilt-and-turn windows as the preferred types of hurricane impact windows. They effectively prevent the infiltration of airflow and moisture, ensuring superior sealing performance.
Thoughtfully designed storm impact windows can not only improve safety but also enhance the energy efficiency of your home.

Window Sealing Cannot Be Ignored
It is very important to choose the right materials and technologies to effectively block wind and airflow. Good window sealing can not only improve a house’s energy efficiency but also significantly enhance comfort.
Here are some important points to remember:
- Material selection: It is crucial to choose the right material for your window seals. Silicone and EPDM are the best choices because they are both durable and flexible.
- Installation: Proper installation is just as important as the choice of materials. Make sure the seals are tight and evenly placed to prevent wind from entering through gaps.
- Regular maintenance: Check window seals regularly for wear and damage. Replace damaged seals immediately to ensure efficiency.
By paying attention to these points, you can ensure that your hurricane resistant windows are optimally protected from wind and drafts, ultimately creating a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
Both Wind-Resistant and Energy-Efficient
If you reside in a region that is frequently hit by powerful winds, impact-resistant windows are essential. These windows have the strength to withstand the harshest storms and also provide substantial advantages in energy efficiency. By combining strong materials with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, Grandsea's hurricane windows and doors make your home more secure and more energy-efficient, ultimately reducing energy consumption.
One of the main benefits of hurricane impact windows is their ability to improve thermal insulation. This means your home is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, resulting in significant savings on energy costs.
Investing in high quality impact windows not only protects against extreme weather conditions but also pays off with long-term energy savings and extended service life. Therefore, if you're looking for a solution that optimizes safety while reducing energy costs, our high-quality windows and doors are the perfect choice.

What Level of Wind Pressure Resistance Should Impact-Proof Windows Have?
There is no definite answer to this question because the wind pressure resistance level of doors and windows must correspond to the basic wind pressure of the city. It is necessary to calculate the standard wind load value based on different landforms, installation heights, installation location factors, etc. However, one thing is certain: the more comprehensive the wind pressure resistance features of the doors and windows, the safer they are.
What is the cost of impact windows?
The cost of hurricane windows varies greatly depending on size, material, style, and other factors. Due to their durability, hurricane resistance, and added safety features, hurricane-resistant windows are generally more expensive than standard windows. We recommend purchasing high-quality impact windows directly from the window and door manufacturer to get the best price. This is a worthwhile investment.
How to care for hurricane proof windows?
Proper care for impact-proof windows is extremely important to ensure their longevity. We recommend regular inspection of seals and frames. Damaged or worn seals should be replaced immediately to maintain their hurricane-proof capability.
Another point is cleanliness. Dust and dirt can accumulate in seals and frames and impair their function. Keep the windows clean using a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the material. It is recommended to oil the window fittings regularly to maintain their mobility and prevent corrosion. This ensures your impact-resistant glass windows remain in top condition and are optimally protected.
