Top-Rated Hurricane Windows for Clearwater, FL, Homeowners
Are you searching for windows that will protect your home and your family in the event of a storm? If so, turn to the window professionals at Morgan Exteriors. We proudly install Simonton StormBreaker Plus hurricane windows at homes throughout the Clearwater, Florida, area. The primary purpose of hurricane windows is to prevent glass from flying into your home in the event of an impact, and our hurricane windows do just that. Thanks to their reinforced profiles and revolutionary KeepSafe Maximum® glass panes, which feature a durable interlayer, glass pieces will remain attached to the window frame and inner membrane even if the window is shattered. You can feel confident knowing that our hurricane windows have been tested and certified to meet standards set by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association for high-velocity hurricane zones. We also install industry-leading hurricane windows from PGT, which feature impact-resistant laminated glass that’s strong enough to withstand repeated impacts from a nine-pound, 2’x4’ beam traveling 30+ miles per hour.

Customization Options
It’s important to select windows that will complement the architectural style of your home, so you’ll be glad to know that you can customize our hurricane windows to suit your exact tastes. They come in various styles — including awning, casement, double hung, picture, and slider — and with a number of color, grid style, grid pattern, and hardware options.
Energy Efficiency
Because our hurricane windows are highly energy efficient, you’ll be able to enjoy breathtaking views of your surroundings without having to cover them with curtains or drapes to reduce heat transfer. Our Simonton hurricane windows prevent up to 99% of UV rays from entering your home, and our PGT hurricane windows can be customized to include high-performance Low-E coatings and glass tinting. These features work to keep heat outside of your home during the warm months and inside your home during the cold months, helping you to reduce your HVAC costs throughout the year as a result.
Security
Although it’s unpleasant to think about, low-quality windows leave your home vulnerable to forced entry. But that’s not the case with our heavy-duty hurricane windows.
The same special interlayer that prevents the windows from giving way during a storm can also keep potential intruders from entering your home. You’re sure to appreciate how the windows give you greater peace of mind knowing your family and valuables are safe.
Noise Insulation
Our hurricane windows don’t simply prevent unwanted heat from entering your home, they also insulate your residence from the sounds of traffic, lawnmowers, barking dogs, and other disruptive outdoor noises. We offer windows that can reduce noise infiltration by 50% compared to standard glass, and this difference can make your home life far more enjoyable depending on the amount of outdoor noise where you live.
