Impact Windows in Parkland, FL

Parkland is the newest housing market we serve, and impact windows here usually mean large glass on newer homes. The city's median home was built in 2006, and close to 60 percent of homes were built in the 2000s and 2010s. Parkland had no stores or traffic lights until Heron Bay and Parkland Isles were built in the mid-1990s and early 2000s. Today about 84 percent of housing is detached single-family, and 85 percent of homes are owner-occupied.

Upgrading newer homes

Homes built after the statewide code took effect in 2002 were required to protect openings, but builders often met that with shutters or panels rather than impact glass. Owners tell us they want to stop hanging panels on two-story houses with tall windows. Replacing with impact glass removes that work.

Large-format glass and sliders

Newer Parkland homes often have tall windows in two-story rooms, wide multi-panel sliders to the pool and big fixed glass. Large impact units are heavy and need careful planning for delivery, lifting and anchoring. Each size and configuration must match its product approval, so we confirm what is allowed before you choose a design.

Garage doors

Three-car garages and side-entry garages are common. Wide double doors flex more in wind. We check whether your door is wind or impact rated and recommend replacement where needed.

Families and safety

More than half of Parkland households include children. Laminated impact glass is harder to break through than ordinary glass, which owners value for security as well as storms.

Hurricane shutters on newer homes

Some owners keep motorized roll-down shutters over their largest glass for shade and privacy, even with impact glass. Others add them over a lanai or summer kitchen. We can price shutters with a window plan.

Planning a large project

We list every opening by room and elevation, with the product and rating for each. That list goes to your HOA for approval and becomes the base for the permit drawing, so nothing is missed when the order is placed.

Delivery and staging

Large units arrive on pallets and need a clear path from the driveway. We plan where they sit before install so landscaping and pavers are protected.

Low-E glass for bright rooms

Two-story great rooms with tall glass take a lot of afternoon sun. Low-E coatings on impact glass reduce heat gain with little visible tint, which helps keep upstairs rooms comfortable.

Security

Laminated glass is much harder to break through than ordinary glass, because the interlayer holds the pieces together after impact. Owners mention it as a reason to switch alongside storm protection.

Permits and HOAs
