BIGGER GLASS and SMALLER FRAMES in a Hurricane Zone

Bigger glass and smaller frames are always competing factors—and in a hurricane zone, the costs and trade-offs are significant. Fixed windows are not all the same, even if they look similar in a proposal.

Do you actually know what you’re getting from your window supplier?

• What are the maximum tested glass sizes? 3×10, 4×12, 5×12, 6×12, 7×15, 10×20?

• What are the frame profiles—flush exterior glass or protruding?

• How narrow are the sightlines? 1"? 3"? 4"?

• Are you building a luxury residence or a strip mall?

• Windows and doors are the second biggest line item in a construction budget. Shouldn’t the details matter?

I know the nuances of nearly every hurricane-rated system on the market. I walk clients through the cost vs. aesthetics vs. budget impacts. Message me for a free consultation.
