Impact glass is not a single product but a rating. Two units that look identical on a showroom floor can carry very different design pressures, and in Boynton Beach that difference is what determines whether an opening holds through a Category 3 or fails at the corner anchors.
Impact glass versus shutters
Shutters protect an opening only while they are closed and correctly fastened. Impact units protect it permanently, including the afternoon nobody is home to prepare — which is the scenario that actually costs people their roof.
What to check before you buy
Ask for the Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA number for the exact unit being quoted, not the product line. Confirm the design pressure rating suits your elevation, and check the quote includes the buck, fasteners and inspection — that is where cheap quotes hide their gap.
