Hurricane impact windows and doors in Lighthouse Point.

Lighthouse Point is a boating city of canal-front homes, most built between the 1950s and 1980s, with wide rear elevations facing the water. Those rear walls are usually the largest glass on the property and the openings that see the highest wind loads.

We walk the whole envelope at the estimate, including the sliders to the pool and the windows facing open water, because the design pressure is not the same on every side of the house.

Salt exposure also drives the hardware choice. We specify finishes and rollers that keep working on a canal, where standard components start binding within a few seasons.
