High-Performance Impact Windows by Rosso Homes
When building a new home, the quality of your windows plays a critical role in long-term comfort, energy efficiency, and protection. At Rosso Homes, we go beyond standard construction by installing premium impact windows engineered to withstand Florida’s toughest weather and meet the highest industry standards.
Why Impact Windows Matter
Impact windows are specially designed to resist shattering from flying debris during hurricanes or high-wind storms. They feature laminated glass, multiple layers of sealant, and heavy-duty framing, all working together to keep your home secure and your family safe. Unlike traditional windows, they don’t require shutters and can reduce noise, block UV rays, and even deter break-ins.
U-Factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)
Two key ratings to consider in your windows are:
- U-Factor: Measures how well a window prevents heat from escaping. A lower U-factor means better insulation and greater energy efficiency.
- Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): Indicates how much solar radiation is admitted through the glass. A lower SHGC reduces heat gain from the sun, keeping your home cooler.
Rosso Homes installs windows with industry-leading U-factor and SHGC ratings, optimizing comfort and energy savings in Florida’s warm climate.
What is Low-E Glass?
Low-E (Low Emissivity) glass features a microscopically thin, transparent coating that reflects heat and harmful UV rays while allowing visible light through. This coating significantly enhances energy efficiency by:
- Keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter
- Reducing glare
- Protecting furnishings from sun damage
All Rosso Homes impact windows come with advanced Low-E technology, providing year-round performance and protection.
Insulated Window Frames
Beyond just the glass, the window frames themselves play a huge role in energy performance. Rosso Homes uses insulated window frames made from high-quality vinyl, fiberglass, or thermally broken aluminum. These frames help:
- Minimize thermal transfer
- Prevent air infiltration
- Increase the overall insulation value of the window unit
This means more consistent indoor temperatures and improved energy efficiency throughout your home.
Engineered for Wind Pressure Resistance
Florida building codes demand windows that can stand up to intense wind forces. The impact windows are tested to withstand wind pressures, meeting High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) standards for ultimate storm resilience.
