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. Cat5 Home Improvements only installs rated products, installed exactly to the tested specification — because that's the only way the rating counts.

Why Homeowners Choose Cat5

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.

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.
