5 Reasons You Should Install Hurricane-Resistant Windows
Did you ever discuss the possibility of changing your windows to impact-resistant windows? Have you ever thought about how to find a reputable impact windows installer? There is no reason to delay this important matter further. Let's go beyond dreaming and talking about it and begin acting. Gives us a call if you are not sure how to start. The procrastination and shelving the idea to install hurricane-resistant windows is like driving without insurance. Don't take the risk of damages caused by high winds and flying debris and opt for a stress-free hurricane season.
Maybe we should take a more systematic approach. Here are 5 good reasons why you should have hurricane-resistant windows installed in your home. Check them off while we are going through them to find out why you should stop delaying and start taking action:
First -The Cost of Hurricane Windows
Hurricanes and the damages they cause have become inevitable fact in Florida. I do understand your concerns about the fact that installing impact windows cost more than regular windows. Also, I agree that worrying about how to budget for hurricane windows is a valid concern. However, look at it like this, each time a hurricane hits Florida, the damages are in millions of dollars and we never know when or where the next hurricane is going to hit. Every home in Florida is susceptible to be severely damaged by a hurricane. Again, bear in mind that after so many years of close calls we may become complaisant and let our guard down. Unfortunately, that is when the lack of preparedness creates the possibility for hurricanes to cause more damages.
Second - Hurricane Windows Increase Property Value
Consider this, average homeowners stay in the same house for 7 to 8 years. The homes equipped with hurricane-resistant windows sell quicker and for a higher price. The reason behind that is when you put your home on the market, you are competing for other available listings. The home buyers favor the homes with the impact windows that are already installed over the homes with regular windows. That is because buyers, like yourself, don't want to go through the expense and hassle of installing hurricane-resistant windows. Furthermore, the appraisers will evaluate the homes higher when they are equipped with hurricane-resistant. This means you will enjoy the safety of your impact windows as long as you live in the house and recuperate some if not all of your investment when you sell the house.
Third - Save Energy with Hurricane Windows
Hurricane-resistant windows will reduce your energy consumption. The transfer of heat or cold through windows is one of the main reasons for energy losses. Unlike regular windows, the impact-resistant windows create a strong barrier between the interior and exterior environment of your home reducing the chance of loss of energy.
Fourth - Impact Windows Are Burglar Resistant
It is very difficult to break the double or triple pane glasses in hurricane windows. This will reduce the risk of intruders picking your house to break-in.
Fifth - No Need for Shutter Installation
Time is of the essence when a storm is approaching. With impact windows in place, there is no need for wasting valuable time installing hurricane shutters or those undesirable plywood panels.
If you consider and evaluate all the above reasons, the conclusion will definitely support the installation of hurricane-resistant windows. These simple facts are only some of the irrefutable reasons making installing impact windows a must for all homeowners in Florida.
Now, it is time to consider how many of the practical benefits mentioned above apply to you. If cost is still an issue, then maybe you should consider installing hurricane-resistant accordion shutters if impact windows are not in line with your budget.
