Living in Florida means sunshine, palm trees… and hurricanes. And this year? The experts say 2025 could be one of the busiest hurricane seasons we’ve seen in a while.
So, here’s the real question: Is your home ready for it?
At Guardian Shield Windows and Doors, we help Florida homeowners stay safe when storms hit. And in this post, we’ll show you what’s coming this season and how to protect your home before it’s too late. That’s why installing impact windows and doors isn’t just smart it’s necessary.
What’s Going On with the 2025 Hurricane Season?
The latest weather reports show:
- 17 named storms
- 9 hurricanes
- 4 major hurricanes
That’s more than usual and stronger storms, too.
Warm water and changing weather patterns make hurricanes hit harder and more often. And in Florida, that means we need to be ready before storm season kicks off.
Why Regular Windows Won’t Cut It
Most standard windows can break during a storm. When wind and flying debris hit your glass, it can shatter fast leaving your home wide open to wind, rain, and damage.
That’s where impact windows come in.
These are made with thick, strong glass and special layers that hold together even when hit hard. They’re built to handle what Florida’s weather throws at us.
What Makes Impact Windows So Worth It?
Here’s what you get with impact-resistant windows:
- Protection from wind and flying debris
- Extra safety during hurricanes and storms
- Help with noise and UV protection
- Lower energy bills thanks to better insulation
- Peace of mind all year long
And yes they even help raise your home’s value.
