Homes across Boca Raton sit inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where the glass is the first thing tested when a system moves through. Laminated impact units keep the building envelope sealed even after the outer pane breaks — and it is the pressure change after a breach, not the broken pane itself, that causes most catastrophic storm damage.
Insurance and wind mitigation
A wind mitigation inspection after a full opening-protection upgrade often moves the premium enough to matter. Ask for the mitigation form to be completed once the work passes, and keep the product approval paperwork with it.
What the permit process expects
Florida requires product approval documentation at permit stage, and inspectors do check anchor patterns against the approved installation instructions. A contractor who cannot produce the NOA for the specific unit is a contractor who will struggle at inspection.
