Hurricane glass or impact resistant glass is good for many reasons, but offering an extremely high level of hurricane protection is not one of them. Many people think that hurricane glass is the safest product an individual can purchase simply because the hurricane glass is so expensive. In reality, these windows meet only the minimum level of protection to be approved for use. They also sustain damage once impacted and need to be replaced. For this reason, many insurance companies don’t cover the replacement value of these windows and just reimburse a customer for the replacement value of a regular window.

Since the United States and World are in a new era, of more severe storms, and natural disasters, products that meet government minimums like the Miami Dade approved or Florida Building Code standards, just aren’t good enough in our opinion. Did you know that the Miami Dade large missile impact test is just a 2X4 at 35 MPH? We hold ourselves to a higher standard and know that if the wind outside is blowing at 180 MPH, many objects that the wind picks up with be traveling faster than that.

Purchasing hurricane glass today is similar to buying a flat screen television a little more than a decade ago–these TV’s were new, very expensive but dropped dramatically in cost each year. AstroGuard adds a much higher level of hurricane protection than hurricane glass, and helps protect this investment. Waiting even one or two more years to make this purchase if you even choose to, will save you about 10-20 percent from your quotation this season. You don’t normally invest in a depreciating asset do you? Or look at it like this, if you purchase hurricane glass you are financing the development of these window–The smart money waits until they perfect them.

The issue that has not been resolved since the innovation of hurricane impact windows are mainly water intrusion problems. A hurricane glass window allows almost as much water intrusion as a regular window. Water intrusion means insurance claim–and a little water means cash out of pocket for customers.

AstroGuard is also the only fabric that protects glass from breakage on impact on many opening sizes, Please refer to our engineering button located at the bottom of this page. Why have a $6,000.00 sliding glass impact door receive an impact and damage it?–protect them withAstroGuard .

A smarter solution, is to hold off on the glass replacement and useAstroGuard . With hurricanes getting more severe, many products like hurricane glass that simply meet the minimum protection standards undoubtedly need something in addition to them if a Category 3 hurricane or higher strikes. So, if a consumer is going to need AstroGuard or something like it anyway to cover the protect these expensive windows–the smart money buys AstroGuard and waits for the prices of hurricane glass to drop just like that flat screen TV. In fact–Most hurricane glass windows cost about as much as a flat screen TV–would you leave that outside to receive and impact during a hurricane?

Some insurance companies don’t cover the replacement value of the hurricane window, so if these get damaged–they just reimburse an insured for what a regular window would cost for the damaged opening. I bet your hurricane window salesman didn’t mention that when you were thinking about writing that large check.
