What Florida Homeowners Need to Know
In Florida, impact windows aren't just a smart upgrade โ in many cases they're required by law. Folkers installs impact-rated windows certified to withstand 200 MPH winds and flying debris, backed by 50+ years of proven Gulf Coast performance.
"Hurricane Rated" Is Not the Same as Impact-Rated
Windows are either impact-rated or they aren't. Non-impact windows โ even ones marketed as "hurricane rated" โ can shatter completely in a storm. Impact glass spiders like a car windshield, keeping debris out and your home sealed.
Florida Law Requires Impact Protection in Many Cases
Florida's wind-borne debris rules apply across the Panhandle. If you're replacing more than 25% of your home's glazed area in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, or Walton County, impact-rated products are required. Folkers knows exactly what applies to your home and handles every permit.
