Impact glass is not a single product but a rating. Two units that look identical on a showroom floor can carry very different design pressures, and in Coconut Creek that difference is what determines whether an opening holds through a Category 3 or fails at the corner anchors.
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.
Installation is most of the performance
A correctly rated window fitted into an unrepaired opening will never reach the number on its sticker. Anchor spacing, shim placement and a properly sealed perimeter are what let the assembly perform to its rating, which is why the crew matters as much as the brand on the frame.
