Central Florida is more hurricane-prone than most residents realize — and we’re here to help you prepare.
Living in Orlando means enjoying sunshine and theme parks — but it also means facing hurricane season every year. Central Florida sits squarely in the path of Atlantic hurricanes that track across the state, and the region has felt the wrath of storms like Hurricane Charley (2004), Hurricane Frances, Hurricane Irma (2017), and Hurricane Ian (2022), which became the costliest hurricane in Florida’s history at over $113 billion in damage.
At Orlando Hurricane Windows, we understand how critical it is to protect your home from high winds and flying debris. Our high-impact hurricane windows give you peace of mind during storm season while also enhancing your home’s curb appeal and energy efficiency.
We’ve been serving Orlando homeowners for years and know the local building codes inside and out. We use only top-quality materials that meet or exceed Florida’s strict standards for hurricane protection. Our windows not only withstand hurricanes — they also help lower your energy bills and block outside noise. From the first call to the final inspection, we work closely with you to find the perfect solution for your needs and budget.

Why Hurricane Windows Are Critical in Orlando
Orlando sits in the heart of Central Florida — a region that sees direct hurricane hits and intense tropical storm bands every few years. Unlike coastal cities, inland Orlando can experience sustained hurricane-force winds well away from the shoreline as storms track across the peninsula.
Hurricane Charley (2004) struck Orlando as a Category 2, causing widespread damage. Hurricane Irma (2017) battered the entire region with 80+ mph gusts. Hurricane Ian (2022) crossed the state and caused catastrophic destruction from the coast to the I-4 corridor. Central Florida is not immune — it just doesn’t always make the front page.
Orlando’s rapid growth has also brought thousands of new homes built to older code standards. If your home was built before 2002, it almost certainly does not meet current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements — making hurricane windows one of the most important upgrades you can make.
Local Climate & Code Considerations
Orange County falls under Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) standards for many applications, demanding robust building solutions. Our team is fully versed in:
- Orange County building permit requirements
- Florida Product Approval (FPA) certification for all windows
- AAMA and NFRC certified products
- Wind load calculations specific to Central Florida
- HOA approval processes for window replacement
Insurance Savings in Florida
With Florida’s insurance market under intense pressure, verified hurricane protection has never been more valuable. Insurers may reduce your homeowner’s premium by up to 45% when you install qualifying impact windows. We’ll provide the documentation you need to file with your carrier.
Understanding Hurricane-Impact Windows
What Makes a Window Hurricane-Proof?
Hurricane windows are built with several key features that set them apart from standard windows. The glass is impact-resistant, typically consisting of two or more layers laminated together with a strong polymer interlayer — similar to automotive windshield glass. This design prevents the glass from shattering into dangerous shards upon impact.
The frames are reinforced with sturdy aluminum or vinyl to withstand high winds and flying debris. Special sealants and gaskets prevent water infiltration during heavy rains. Even if the glass cracks, the entire window unit stays intact and continues to protect your home throughout the storm.
Testing & Certification
Hurricane windows undergo rigorous testing to earn their ratings. The primary test involves launching a 9-pound 2×4 wooden beam at the window at high speed to simulate windborne debris. Additional tests check water resistance under hurricane-like conditions and verify structural performance under extreme pressure changes.
Look for certification labels from recognized bodies such as:
- American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA)
- National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC)
- Florida Product Approval (FPA)
- Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) for highest-rated products
All products we install carry valid Florida Product Approval numbers. We’ll share the documentation with you at every step.

Impact windows don’t have to look like afterthoughts. We offer a wide range of options to match your Orlando home’s personality.

Colors & Hardware Finishes

- Low-E glass coatings for maximum solar control
Maintenance & Longevity
Impact windows are built to last — but a little routine care goes a long way. We recommend washing your windows with mild soap and water every few months and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could damage frames or glass coatings. Check seals and gaskets periodically for any signs of wear, and clean tracks with a soft brush to ensure smooth operation year-round.
With proper care, your impact windows will protect your Orlando home for decades. We offer professional maintenance inspections and are always available if you notice any concerns with glass, frames, or seals.
Quick Maintenance Checklist
- Wash frames and glass with mild soap and water every 3–4 months
- Inspect seals and gaskets for cracking or shrinkage
- Clean door and window tracks to remove dirt and debris
- Check for cracks or chips in glass and report immediately
- Lubricate hinges, rollers, and locking mechanisms annually
- Schedule a professional inspection every 3–5 years

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost of installing hurricane impact windows in Orlando?
Costs typically range from $500 to $1,500 per window, depending on window size, style, frame material, and glass type. Larger homes with more windows will have higher total project costs. We offer free in-home consultations with itemized, no-obligation quotes — so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Do I need a permit to install hurricane windows in Orange County?
Yes — and we handle all permitting on your behalf. Orange County requires a building permit for window replacement, and all products must carry a valid Florida Product Approval number. Our team manages the entire permitting process so you don’t have to deal with the paperwork.
Will impact windows really save me money on homeowner’s insurance?
In most cases, yes. Florida insurers are required to offer discounts for verified wind mitigation features, including impact-rated windows and doors. Savings vary by insurer and policy, but many Orlando homeowners see premium reductions of 20–45%. We provide the documentation you need to submit a wind mitigation report to your carrier.
What distinguishes high-impact windows from standard hurricane windows?
High-impact windows use laminated glass with a strong polymer interlayer that resists shattering on impact — similar to a car windshield. Standard “hurricane windows” may simply have tempered glass, which can still break into large pieces. Our products are tested and certified to resist both wind pressure and windborne debris impact.
Which brands do you install?
We work with top-rated Florida-approved manufacturers including PGT Innovations, CGI Windows & Doors, WinDoor, and Simonton. Each brand carries unique features and designs. During your consultation, we’ll help you compare options and find the best fit for your home and budget.
How long does installation take?
Most residential jobs take 1–3 days depending on the number of windows and any structural prep work needed. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start. Our crew arrives on time, works efficiently, and leaves your home clean at the end of each day.
