Impact and Standard Windows Compared
The four main items to take in consideration when comparing impact windows with standard windows with storm panels are cost, convenience, appearance and time commitments. We will break this down in an easy to understand format. The Florida Building Code requires the installation of storm panels in every house opening in order to provide for hurricane protection with regular, standard-glass windows.

The initial combined cost of purchasing and installing standard windows with shutters is less than buying and installing impact windows. This cost can easily change over time when you include time commitment or labor costs to install storm panels each time there is a hurricane warning.
