Hurricane Irene Slams the East Coast
As Hurricane Irene has now reminded us, no one is safe from the potentially devastating effect of a hurricane. Though Florida was spared, it was a stark reminder of the ever-present threat posed to anyone living on a coastal region of the U.S.
A mere Category 1 hurricane - the most minor kind - cost millions of dollars of damage as it rampaged along the east coast. The unfortunate reality is that as time passes, people will begin to forget the devastating effects of such tropical storms, breeding complacency and a dangerous disconnect between fantasy and reality.
Arming your home or office with CitiQuiet windows are just one measure you can take to vastly reduce the risk level of residing in a region prone to tropical storms. The windows, comprised of strengthened laminated glass are designed to protect against destructive gusts and dangerous wind-borne debris that would otherwise do unimaginable damage to your home.

Why CitiQuiet Impact Resistant Windows?
A Proven System: CitiQuiet Hurricane's impact doors and windows have been proven to safeguard buildings from destructive winds, shattering glass, wind born debris, torrential rain, and most importantly, objects capable of penetrating standard glass that could cause interior damage or loss of life.
There are No Alternatives. Unlike shutters and plywood, impact doors and windows provide continuous protection. No seasonal installation and removal is needed. The alternatives are flimsy and cumbersome, capable of being easily swept away by more beligerent wind. CitiQuiet Hurricane's impact doors and windows become an immovable part of your building's structure.
Security. Laminated glass, used in CitiQuiet Hurricane's impact doors and windows, is shatter-proof, which will discourage thiefs from intruding into your home. Making your home safer as a result can result in reduced insurance rates, as many firms offer incentives for such measures.

January 2002, the Florida's Uniform Building Code was put into statewide effect in an effort to
promote hurricane-safe homes. Its main provisions are that all new construction must include
impact-resistant windows or shutters and. Doors and windows must meet
pressure requirements that stand up to hurricane-speed gusts. CitiQuiet Hurricane - a company with a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance
(NOA) and approval by the Florida Building Code (FBC) - can help you met such requirements.
