Hurricane Tested Impact Resistant Windows and Doors

Just when you thought it couldn’t happen, Sandy did. The recent late season hurricane was a perfect storm, its two separate weather systems colliding to form a gigantic super-storm. Statistics from Eqecat Inc. showed between $10 to $20 billion in insured losses and $30 to $50 billion in total economic damage. The eastern seaboard was the victim, but it could just as easily could have been Florida.

“It just goes to show how fortunate we have been,” says Ben Friedman, southern region president of CitiQuiet Windows and Doors. “It also shows the real need to have your home and business properly protected. That’s something I hope the community doesn’t lose sight of.”

Impact-resistant windows and doors can make a definite difference. Strong and durable, they can withstand high-intensity winds and even deter intruders. That is peace of mind. “Your family’s safety is a priority and you can’t place a price tag on that,” says Friedman, the company’s southern region president. “We carry products made by PGT Industries, one of the nation’s top manufacturers, and we stand behind everything they sell.”

So far, the hurricane season has consisted of 19 tropical storms, 10 hurricanes, and 1 major hurricane. That exceeds predicted maximum number of tropical storms and hurricane estimates. The “season” is supposedly coming to an end on November 30, but can we be sure? “There is a recorded hurricane in December,” says Friedman. “It was an anomaly, but it’s that kind of unpredictability that is a concern. It can happen.” It can happen are three words that should be enough to help you make a decision on security.

What to choose?

There are various types of impact-resistant windows that can be custom-fit for your home or business, and the professionals at CitiQuiet Windows and Doors are happy to talk about your specific needs, cost and turnaround time. The company’s goal is to provide energy-efficient, impact-resistant windows and doors that provide ultimate protection. Its windows can be installed into any existing opening, and will not require any alteration or construction to the present window or wall.

CitiQuiet believes in the products it sells. With many insurance companies raising rates for people that don’t have code-approved hurricane protection, investing in CitiQuiet Windows and Doors is a smart choice.

“I think of this company as an investment in protection,” says Friedman. “We’re reputable, reliable and our installers take pride in doing the job right the first time. We don’t believe in taking shortcuts and we never will.”
Installing the best, most durable, long-lasting impact windows and doors isn’t cheap, but over the long term it more than pays for itself. When a natural disaster occurs, the consequences of not being prepared far outweigh the immediate investment.

Choosing the roll of Mother Nature’s dice over personal safety isn’t a smart choice.  CitiQuiet Windows and Doors is the smart choice.
