Licensed & Insured — FL CBC1266857
Whether your home is in South Orlando or closer to Meadow Woods, the reality is the same: standard windows are the weakest point of any Florida home during a hurricane. When a window fails, the pressure change inside can blow your roof off from the inside out. Impact windows eliminate that vulnerability entirely.

Learn More →Orlando Homeowners Are Overpaying on Insurance
If your Orlando home still has standard windows, your insurer is charging you a wind mitigation surcharge every single month. Most homeowners don't even realize it's there — it's just baked into your premium.
When you upgrade to impact windows, your insurer reclassifies your home's wind resistance. After a wind mitigation inspection confirms the installation, your premium drops. Orlando homeowners typically save $100 to $200 per month.
Our team includes a former insurance adjuster who knows exactly what documentation inspectors need. We don't just install windows — we make sure you capture every dollar of savings available to you.
See How Much You Could SaveWhy Orlando Homeowners Are Upgrading to Impact Windows
Orlando sits squarely in Florida's hurricane corridor. While Central Florida doesn't face the same direct coastal exposure as Miami or Fort Myers, the metro area has been hit by major storms multiple times — and insurance companies haven't forgotten. Many Orlando homeowners are now receiving notices from their insurers requiring impact-rated windows or shutters as a condition of continued coverage.
The financial case is just as strong. Orlando homeowners who upgrade to impact windows typically see their homeowners insurance premiums drop significantly, often $100 to $200 per month or more once the wind mitigation discount kicks in. That's money back in your pocket every single month.
Ballistic Window and Door's team includes professionals from the window industry, general contracting, and insurance adjusting. We've helped hundreds of Central Florida homeowners navigate the process — from the first estimate to the final wind mitigation inspection that unlocks your insurance savings. We handle every permit and inspection so you don't have to worry about a thing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Orlando, FL
Will impact windows reduce my energy bills in Orlando?+
Yes. Impact windows provide significantly better insulation than standard single-pane windows. Central Florida homeowners typically see a 10 to 25 percent reduction in cooling costs because impact glass blocks more heat transfer and UV radiation. The energy savings are on top of your insurance discount.
Do I need a permit for impact window installation in Orlando?+
Yes. Florida law requires a building permit for all impact window and door installations. We handle the entire permitting process for you — application, submission, and scheduling the final inspection with your local building department.
Are your impact windows Miami-Dade NOA certified?+
Yes. Every impact window and door we install carries Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) certification — the most rigorous impact testing standard in the country. This ensures your Orlando installation qualifies for the maximum wind mitigation insurance discount.
How do impact windows compare to hurricane shutters?+
Hurricane shutters must be manually deployed before each storm and removed afterward. Impact windows provide permanent, always-on protection with no seasonal labor. They also provide year-round benefits including noise reduction, energy savings, and UV protection. Most Florida insurers offer a bigger discount for impact windows than for shutters.
Do impact windows qualify for insurance discounts in Orlando?+
Yes. Orlando homeowners who install impact-rated windows and doors typically qualify for a wind mitigation discount on their homeowners insurance. The savings vary by insurer and home, but most homeowners in Orange County see reductions of $100 to $300 per month. Our team helps document your installation for the wind mitigation inspection.
Do you offer financing for impact windows in Orlando?+
Many Orlando homeowners finance their impact window installation. Options include PACE financing, HELOC, and contractor financing. When the monthly insurance savings are factored in, the effective out-of-pocket cost is often significantly lower than the sticker price.
What impact window brands do you install in Orlando?+
We install premium impact window brands that carry full Florida Product Approval and Miami-Dade NOA certification. During your free inspection at your South Orlando home, we recommend the best product for your window sizes, style preferences, and budget.
