Expanded Collection of Hurricane-Rated Impact Windows Now Available in Tampa
With the Atlantic hurricane season in full swing here in Tampa, I’m always looking for ways to make my home safer and more energy-efficient. That’s why I was excited to hear that Impact Windows Center (772-444-7504) has expanded its line of hurricane-rated windows—designed specifically to withstand the severe weather we get in this area.
Their new range includes customizable, energy-efficient PGT and CGI impact windows that can endure gale-force winds and other harsh storm conditions. If you’re wondering about installation costs, you can either give them a call or check out the handy cost calculator on their website: https://impactwindowscenter.com/collections/windows.
Why I’m Considering an Upgrade
Windows that are more than 15 years old have already started to deteriorate from wear and tear, and the glazing may have aged to the point where it’s no longer doing a good job of preventing heat transfer between the inside and outside of your home. Here in Tampa, older windows are more than just inefficient—they can actually become a safety hazard during storms, leaving you vulnerable to damage and expensive repairs.
That’s why I’m seriously considering upgrading to PGT or CGI impact windows from Impact Windows Center. These windows meet Florida’s strict building codes and are built for our unpredictable weather. They feature impact-resistant glass and protective coatings that can handle flying debris and hurricane-force winds exceeding 110 mph.
More Than Just Hurricane Protection
One thing I like is that these impact windows aren’t only useful during hurricane season. With aluminum frames and stainless steel hardware, they resist saline corrosion (a big plus in our coastal climate) and help cut down on heating and cooling costs year-round. For even better energy efficiency, you can choose to enhance the glass with argon gas.
Plus, the built-in durability and advanced locking mechanisms add another layer of home security. If they can stand up to a hurricane, they can certainly discourage break-ins. On top of that, homeowners often see lower insurance premiums and an increase in property value after installing them.
Where to Find Them
Impact Windows Center carries PGT, CGI, and other top American brands of hurricane-rated windows. They come in both single-hung and horizontal roller styles with screens, and you can buy them directly from their online store.
Even better, if you need something that’s not listed on the site, they’ll take custom orders—without adding any extra fees. You can also request specific sizes or design features to match your home perfectly.
