One of the Only Window Replacements in Florida Offering Hurricane Protection & Energy Efficiency Tax Credits

Window replacements are more popular than ever thanks to the 2009-2010 Federal Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency. While Florida homeowners are excited to install windows that will save them money on their power bills—and earn them up to a $1,500 tax credit—residents of the Sunshine State are also concerned about buying windows that protecting their homes from hurricanes, especially in coastal cities like Tampa, Clearwater, West Palm Beach, Naples, and Ft Myers.

The problem is that most brands of window replacements on the market today qualifying Florida homeowners for the 2009-2010 federal tax credit are not hurricane resistant. The reason that most “energy efficient windows” are not also “hurricane windows” is due to the materials used in each type of window. Materials that make a vinyl window more resistant to hurricanes cause that same window to be less energy efficient, and vice versa. Many window companies have not found a way to design windows that meet federal energy efficiency requirements and provide hurricane impact protection at the same time.

Duramade has the answer to this challenge. We carry window replacements made by Gorell. Gorell is one of the only window manufacturers to engineer vinyl windows which meet the coefficient to qualify for the Federal energy efficiency tax credit, as well as meet Florida guidelines for hurricane impact window protection.
