Why impact glass matters after Ian

River and bay lots took surge well inland. Impact glass keeps the house sealed if debris hits during the next storm.

The city voids a permit if the first visit isn't within six months, so we order glass before we file.

Windows and doors for Bonita Springs homes

Gated golf communities, older river homes, and beach condos all fall inside the city. Lanai sliders and wide fixed units are common.

Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

Grants and insurance

My Safe Florida Home and your wind-mitigation form

If you qualify for My Safe Florida Home, the state pays $2 for every $1 you pay, up to $10,000, after the program's free wind-mitigation visit (Fla. Stat. §215.5586). How the program works.

Impact windows and doors count as opening protection, Question 9 on the state's wind-mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802. A licensed inspector fills it out after the work, and your insurer sets the discount.

Questions

Bonita Springs impact window questions

What wind speed applies in Bonita Springs?

Our overlay of the county layer puts about 97% of the city at 160 mph and a Gulf strip at 170 mph.

Which permit form is used?

The city's shutter/window/door application for size-for-size work; other changes need a residential building permit.

Do I need a turtle form?

On a barrier island, yes. The owner signs the sea turtle lighting verification under LDC §7-45.

What did Ian do here?

The NHC puts Bonita Beach flooding at 8 to 12 ft above ground and inland marks at 5 to 7 ft.

Does the permit expire?

Yes, if the first visit isn't made within six months of issue.

Do I need a condo letter?

Yes. The city form asks for one on condo units.

Do hurricane windows lower premiums?

Usually. A mitigation report lets your insurer apply the discount state law requires it to offer.

When is a notice of commencement needed?

Bonita's form asks for it above $5,000, matching the statute.

What does a single-hung cost?

Standard single-hungs average $1,100 each with us in Bonita.

Do you install impact sliders?

Yes. Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

Can my HOA set the color?

Color and finish, yes. A ban on rated units, no.

Who does the labor warranty protect?

The lifetime labor warranty covers you, the original owner. It doesn't pass to a new owner if you sell.

How fast is the quote?

24–48 hours, once we have measured.

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

Lee County is outside the HVHZ. Its Risk Category II map has 150, 160, and 170 mph zones, and the whole county is a wind-borne debris region.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of ASTM E1996.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test of the same standard.
  • Each unit needs a Florida Product Approval, or a Miami-Dade NOA, covering its size and design pressure.

Wind, Ian, turtle glass, insurance, notice.

Wind zone160 mph, with a 170 strip

  • The county layer puts most of the city at 160 mph and a Gulf-side strip at 170.

  • Inland or beach, Bonita glass falls under the debris-region rules.
