Living in Miami means you’re always dealing with some of the wildest weather in the country. Hurricanes don’t just pass by, they tear through with crazy winds, flying debris, and pounding rain. Normal windows just don’t cut it. Since Miami sits right in the middle of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, homes have to meet tight Florida Building Code standards to handle those wild pressure changes and hard-hitting impacts.

But here’s the thing, hurricanes aren’t the only worry. Miami’s nonstop humidity, brutal sun, and salty ocean air chew up regular windows pretty quick. Old homes, especially the ones with single-pane glass, stucco, or flimsy aluminum frames, end up with leaks, rust, and lousy insulation.
