Impact Windows

#1 Post by biglizard12 »

Hello, I live in Florida and I am tired of the annual put up and take down of my heavy metal shutters, I was considering rolling shutters, but I like the idea of also lowering my energy bill from the thicker insulation in the impact windows. There are so many local companies to do installations and most of them have bad reviews. Has anyone ever heard of the Florida Impact Window Association? http://www.impactwindow.com
They seem to have lots of reviews on companies but their reviews vary from other sources like google or yelp and I don't know who to use and I do not want to make a bad decision as the windows are very expensive.
Also, do you have any suggestions for the brand of windows PGT or CGI or others?

Simonton and PGT are the two most well know in that family of products.

The link you provided is just another professional organization that is more like a vehicle to extract money from the contractor or manufacturer.
