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 Deerfield Beach (read more here) 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.
What to check before you buy
Ask for the Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA number for the exact unit being quoted, not the product line. Confirm the design pressure rating suits your elevation, and check the quote includes the buck, fasteners and inspection — that is where cheap quotes hide their gap.
