Impact windows and doors in Cloud Lake
Cloud Lake took shape after the Riddle twins began building homes in 1935 around a five-acre lake named for the Seminole chief known as The Cloud, and it incorporated in 1951. Our crews fit its houses with impact glass from $800–$1,800 an opening, with permits pulled at Town Hall on Lang Road.

We know Cloud Lake homes
Around 140 people live in town.
The lake gives the town its name and its wind exposure.
Many of the earliest houses have opening sizes no stock unit fits, so we build to measure.
We serve Palm Beach County homes from our Fort Lauderdale office.

The fine print
The rules
Wind and missile rules
Palm Beach County is outside the HVHZ. Its Risk Category II wind map runs from 150 to 170 mph, above the 140 mph mark that puts glass in the 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.
