Key Benefits
Unmatched Protection
Impact Window Protection with Everyday Comfort
Smart View Hurricane Windows are designed to protect your home during hurricane season while adding year-round comfort, security, and style. With impact-resistant laminated glass, strong frame options, and Low-E glass options, they help Florida homeowners prepare for severe weather without giving up natural light or curb appeal.
Always-On Storm Protection
Storm Windows help protect your home from high winds and windborne debris without requiring storm deployment before severe weather. Once installed, they provide always-on protection for the openings they are designed to cover.
Natural Light and Visibility
Unlike solid shutters or panels, Impact Windows help protect your home while keeping rooms bright and open. They allow natural light in, preserve outdoor views, and support a cleaner exterior appearance.
Security and Noise Reduction
Impact-resistant laminated glass can help deter forced entry and may reduce outside noise from traffic, neighbors, lawn equipment, and daily activity around the home.
Energy-Efficiency Support
Low-E glass options can help reduce heat transfer and support indoor comfort during Florida’s hot months. Depending on the glass package and home conditions, Impact Windows may also help lower utility demand.
UV Protection
Low-E glass helps block harmful UV rays while still allowing natural light into the home. This can help protect flooring, furniture, artwork, and interior finishes from sun exposure.
Florida-Focused Performance
Smart View Impact Windows include options designed for Florida weather, heat, humidity, heavy rain, and hurricane-season conditions. Storm Smart’s products meet and exceed Florida Building Code requirements and are HVHZ Rated.
Product Types & Options
Which Impact Window Styles are Available?
Every home has different openings, views, ventilation needs, and design goals. Storm Smart helps homeowners choose Impact Windows that fit the home’s layout while supporting hurricane protection, comfort, and curb appeal. Smart View Storm Windows may be available in several styles depending on the opening, project requirements, and product fit.
Impact Picture Windows
Picture Hurricane Windows are fixed windows designed for natural light and wide outdoor views. Because they do not open, they are often used in spaces where homeowners want a bright, open feel while maintaining strong protection for the window opening.
Impact Single or Double Hung Windows
Single Hung Storm Windows offer a classic look for bedrooms, living areas, and common window openings. The lower sash moves vertically, making this style a practical option for homeowners who want a familiar window design with impact-resistant glass protection.
Impact Horizontal Roller / Slider Windows
Horizontal Roller or Slider Impact Windows open from side to side, giving homeowners a clean look, easy operation, outdoor visibility, and ventilation where the product is a good fit. This style is often useful for wider openings and contemporary home designs.
Impact Specialty Shape / Architectural Windows
Specialty Shape and Architectural Hurricane Windows can support custom design goals with shaped window options such as arched, circular, or linear styles where available.
Combination Impact Windows
Combination Impact Windows join compatible window styles into one larger design. This option can help bring more natural light into a room, create a custom appearance, and support larger window layouts where product fit and engineering allow.
