Impact Window & Door FAQs
Thinking about impact windows or doors for your Southwest Florida home? Here are honest answers to the questions we hear most.
Impact Windows And Doors
Yes, the terms are used interchangeably. "Impact," "impact-resistant," and "hurricane" windows all describe the same category of laminated, reinforced windows built to withstand storm conditions.
We offers single hung, double hung, horizontal roller (slider), casement, awning, picture/fixed, and specialty and radius shapes. The right style depends on the opening, how you want it to operate, and your home's look.
With proper installation and normal maintenance, quality impact windows and doors are built to last many years. Lifespan varies by product line and exposure.
Paradise installs impact-rated sliding glass and patio doors, including multi-panel, pocketing, corner, and lift-and-slide systems. We also install impact entry doors, French doors, and decorative glass entry doors.
Impact-rated windows and doors are designed to protect the openings where they are installed, so they generally do not require separate hurricane shutters or panels for those openings.
This is one reason many Southwest Florida homeowners choose impact products instead of preparing and removing shutters before every storm.
Opening Modifications & Custom Projects
