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 Boca Raton that difference is what determines whether an opening holds through a Category 3 or fails at the corner anchors.
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.
Impact glass versus shutters
Shutters protect an opening only while they are closed and correctly fastened. Impact units protect it permanently, including the afternoon nobody is home to prepare — which is the scenario that actually costs people their roof.
