How Would Your Design Change If You Had 7′ x 15′ Hurricane-Rated Windows?

Manufacturers are constantly testing bigger glass sizes and slimmer frames, allowing architects to reimagine what's possible in the hurricane zone.

As an independent expert, I spend a significant amount of time tracking every major luxury window and door manufacturer — staying on top of new product launches, custom size approvals, and the ongoing arms race to offer the largest, cleanest openings that still meet code. New systems and sizes are being tested every month, and knowing what’s coming — and what it costs — helps everyone plan smarter.

This is how I bring value: by understanding the nuances, limitations, and budgetary impacts of each glazing system so architects, builders, and owners can push the envelope without blowing the budget.
