Hurricane Windows St Petersburg FL

If you live in a home where hurricanes occasionally roll through, you should take precautions to prepare your windows to take on the damaging winds and flying debris associated with hurricanes. Every time a hurricane is about to make landfall somewhere along the Gulf coast, we see stories on the news of homeowners nailing plywood over their windows to protect them. There are other methods and technically advanced products that homeowners in hurricane prone areas could utilize to protect the windows of their homes. For example Simtonton StormBreaker Plus® Impact Resistant Vinyl Windows. Another recommended product would be our PGT Winguard® Vinyl Double Hung Windows products that can withstand repeated impact from a nine-pound 2’ by 4’ beam traveling at 34 miles per hour, followed by hurricane-force winds. Even if the glass is damaged, it remains securely in its frame, keeping the elements outside. http://www.karolywindowsanddoors.com/windows/hurricane-windows

New Window Installation Services Australia

A New Construction window includes nailing fins used to fasten the window in place and to flash it, helping to make it airtight and waterproof. This usually requires the installation of the new interior woodwork, and sometimes touch-up painting of the interior drywall. 

A replacement window fits inside of the current window frame, leaving the original exterior & interior window frame & trim in place. This is a quicker and less expensive method of replacing windows.
