Educational Overview
Impact windows are window systems engineered with impact-resistant glass, reinforced framing and tested components designed to protect an exterior opening during severe weather.
Unlike temporary panels or shutters, impact windows remain in place year-round. For homeowners, that means hurricane protection is already built into the property when storm season arrives. For builders, impact windows provide a permanent opening solution that can be selected around the design, dimensions and performance requirements of the project.
Impact windows can also provide everyday benefits beyond storm season, including increased security, reduced exterior noise and updated energy performance compared with many older window systems.
Explore Your Options
Choose from multiple impact window styles designed around ventilation, views, opening size and architectural preference.
A classic vertical window available in both single or double hung style that works well across bedrooms, living areas and standard residential openings.
Slide side to side for easy operation and a wider glass area, making them a popular choice for Southwest Florida homes.
Hinged at the side and opening outward, casement windows offer clean sightlines and generous ventilation.
Top-hinged windows that open outward from the bottom, ideal for smaller openings or architectural combinations.
Designed to maximize natural light and uninterrupted views in areas where ventilation is not required.
Custom shapes and configurations help accommodate distinctive openings and more design-driven projects.
Slimmer profiles help maximize visible glass and create clean, modern sightlines.
A more substantial frame option offering strong thermal performance and a variety of residential applications.
Key Benefits
Protection remains in place year-round, reducing the need to install separate storm panels before severe weather.
Impact-resistant glass and reinforced framing add another layer of protection to vulnerable exterior openings.
Protect the opening without permanently covering the glass with a shutter or panel.
Impact glass systems can help reduce exterior noise, an advantage for homes near busy roads, community amenities or active construction areas.
Multiple operating styles, sizes, frame materials and finishes allow the window package to complement the property’s architecture.
New Construction & Renovation
Impact windows are not limited to replacement projects.
Early product selection can help builders align window styles, opening dimensions and manufacturer options with the overall project before installation begins.

Local Expertise
Window needs vary significantly across Southwest Florida.
A custom home in Naples with expansive glass and architectural openings may call for a very different product package than an older Fort Myers property undergoing a full window replacement.
1st Choice Building Solutions helps evaluate opening size, window style, frame preference, architecture and project goals before recommending a system.
We serve projects throughout Southwest Florida, including Naples, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Estero, Cape Coral, Marco Island and surrounding communities.
Who We Work With
Whether you are replacing a few aging windows or upgrading the entire property, our team helps you compare styles, manufacturers, frame options and configurations based on how you want the finished home to look and perform.
1st Choice Building Solutions works with custom home builders, contractors and project teams that need a dependable local source for impact window and door packages.
Our team can assist with product selection, opening requirements, ordering, project coordination and professional installation so the selected products align with the needs of the build.
Products We Trust
No single window manufacturer is the right fit for every project.
1st Choice Building Solutions offers products from leading window and door manufacturers, giving homeowners and building professionals access to different frame materials, window styles, configurations, finishes and performance levels.
Instead of forcing every project into one product line, our team can help compare available options and identify the right fit for the property, design and budget.
Right Fit
If replacing the windows is not part of the project, hurricane shutters or removable panels may also be worth comparing.
Impact windows are a strong option when you want:
