Types of Impact Windows We Install
Single Hung Windows
Classic style with bottom sash that slides up. The most popular choice for Melbourne homes, single hung impact windows combine traditional aesthetics with modern hurricane protection. Lower maintenance than double hung due to fewer moving parts, and typically 10-15% more affordable.
Double Hung Windows
Both sashes slide vertically for maximum ventilation and easy cleaning from inside. Ideal for second-story rooms where exterior cleaning is difficult. Both sashes tilt inward for safe, convenient cleaning without ladders.
Casement Windows
Hinged windows that swing outward using a crank mechanism, providing unobstructed views and excellent airflow. When closed, the sash presses against the frame creating a superior seal — making casement windows among the most energy-efficient and weather-tight options available.
Picture Windows
Large fixed windows that maximize natural light and showcase Florida's beautiful views. Since they don't open, picture windows offer the best structural integrity and energy efficiency. Perfect for living rooms and spaces where ventilation isn't needed.
Sliding Windows
Horizontal sliding operation, perfect for wide openings and easy access. Popular for bedrooms and kitchens in Melbourne homes. Available in 2-panel and 3-panel configurations with one or two operable sashes for flexible ventilation.
Bay & Bow Windows
Elegant curved window configurations that project outward from the wall, expanding your interior space and creating a dramatic focal point. Bay windows typically feature three panels while bow windows use four or more. Both add significant curb appeal and home value.
Why Impact Windows Are Essential for Melbourne Homes
Impact windows are the gold standard for hurricane protection in Melbourne FL. Unlike temporary solutions like plywood or shutters, impact windows provide 24/7 protection without any action required when a storm approaches. The laminated glass construction features two layers of tempered glass bonded to a strong polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. When struck by flying debris during a hurricane, the glass may crack but the PVB interlayer holds the fragments in place, maintaining the building envelope and preventing dangerous pressure changes inside your home. Beyond hurricane protection, impact windows block 99% of harmful UV rays that fade furniture and flooring, reduce outside noise by up to 50 decibels, and significantly improve energy efficiency — reducing cooling costs by 15-25% in Florida's hot climate.
Our Installation Process
Free In-Home Consultation
Our estimator visits your Melbourne home to measure every window opening, assess the existing frame condition, evaluate your home's specific wind zone requirements, and discuss your preferences for brand, frame material (aluminum or vinyl), and glass options. We provide a detailed written quote within 24 hours — no high-pressure sales tactics.
Product Selection & Ordering
Choose from PGT, CGI, or ECO impact windows in aluminum or vinyl frames. We help you select the right product based on your budget, home style, and performance needs. Once you approve the quote, we order your custom-manufactured windows — lead times are typically 2-6 weeks depending on the brand.
Permit & Preparation
We handle all Brevard County building permits and HOA approvals. Before installation day, we confirm all windows are received and inspected for quality. We coordinate the installation schedule around your availability and weather conditions.
Professional Installation
Our licensed installers remove old windows, prepare the openings, install new impact windows with proper flashing and waterproofing, and apply interior and exterior trim. Most homes are completed in 1-3 days. We protect your floors, furniture, and landscaping throughout the process.
Inspection & Documentation
After installation, we schedule the required Brevard County building inspection. Once passed, we provide all documentation you need for insurance discounts including product approvals, NOA certificates, and installation compliance letters. Most homeowners see insurance savings within their next policy renewal.

What is the difference between hurricane windows and impact windows?
Hurricane windows and impact windows are the same thing - both terms refer to windows with laminated glass designed to withstand flying debris during storms. The laminated glass has a tough plastic interlayer that holds the glass together even when cracked. All our windows are Miami-Dade certified, meeting the strictest hurricane protection standards in the United States.
What does Miami-Dade certification mean for impact windows?
Miami-Dade certification is the gold standard for hurricane protection products in the USA. Windows with this certification have passed rigorous testing including large missile impact tests (a 9-pound 2x4 fired at 50 feet per second) and cyclic pressure tests simulating Category 5 hurricane conditions. All Premium Impact windows carry Miami-Dade approval, ensuring maximum protection for your Brevard County home.
How long does impact window installation take in Melbourne?
Most residential impact window installations take 1-3 days depending on the number of windows. A typical 10-15 window project is completed in 2 days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Yes, Brevard County requires building permits for all window replacements. Premium Impact handles the entire permitting process at no additional cost, including scheduling the final inspection.
