Why impact glass matters after Ian

Canal homes face open water on the back wall. Impact glass keeps wind out of the house if debris strikes during a storm.

The city's turtle rules were updated in 2022, so beach-view replacements carry tinted lamination.

Windows and doors for Marco Island homes

Canal-front ranch homes and high-rise condos along the beach are typical. Pool-cage sliders are the most common door.

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.

The fine print

The rules

Wind and missile rules

Collier County is outside the HVHZ. Its adopted Risk Category II map runs from 150 to 170 mph in 1 mph lines, and at 150 mph or more the code makes the whole county 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.
