Exports to the Caribbean Islands

Hurricane impact windows are becoming an important need for properties located in coastal areas, specially in the Caribbean. Astor Windows and Doors can help you choose glazing solutions affordable for your project. Our impact-resistant, heavy-duty windows offer you 24-hour protection from hurricanes.

PRODUCT CERTIFICATIONS

All of impact windows and doors are approved for the high-velocity hurricane zone in Florida. The large majority of our products has the stringent Miami-Dade County approval; the rest of the products (only a handful) carries the Florida State certified for the high-velocity hurricane zone. These certifications offer our international clients peace of mind since they can trust that our products have gone through and successfully passed rigorus testing.

AVAILABLE FRAMES

We offer both aluminum frame and vinyl frame impact windows.

COASTAL HARDWARE UPGRADE AVAILABLE

For impact windows and doors that will be exposed to agressive coastal weather conditions, our clients may request a coastal hardware package. Coastal hardware options are not standard items. Upgrades are available for some product lines. Coastal hardware upgrades, which carry a premium price, are not quoted by default. A coastal hardware package typically consists of stainless steel components. For example, stainless steel rollers for horizontal sliding windows, stainless steel operators for casement windows, stainless steel rollers sliding glass doors and stainless steel fasteners. If interested, ask Astor Windows's sales representative for pricing these premium options.

If you have multi-family projects, you can use our hurricane windows to offer hurricane protection and improved confort.
