Impact Rated Windows: What the Rating Really Means
‘Impact rated’ means a window passed large-missile impact and cyclic pressure testing and carries a Florida product approval. 3 Squares Roofing only installs rated products, installed exactly to the tested specification — because that’s the only way the rating counts.
Why it matters in South Florida
Verified Approvals
We show you the actual NOA or FL approval number for every product before you sign.
Tested-Spec Installation
Anchors, spacing, shims, and sealants follow the tested assembly, so the rating survives installation.
Inspection-Ready Docs
Product approvals and install docs packaged for inspectors, insurers, and future buyers.
One contractor for the whole envelope
3 Squares Roofing protects homes from the top down — roofing plus impact windows and doors. One licensed and insured Florida contractor, one permit process, and wind-mitigation documentation your insurance carrier will actually accept.
Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a window is impact rated?
Check for a permanent glass etch and the product approval number — we walk you through it on every unit.
Do ratings expire?
Product approvals get renewed by manufacturers; your installed windows remain code-compliant as installed.
Is tinted or Low-E glass still rated?
Yes — Low-E, gray, and bronze tints are available within the same rated makeup.
