New Hy-Lite StormBlocker windows deliver style, privacy and easy installation while having been independently tested in accordance with all Miami-Dade County and State of Florida testing requirements. StormBlocker’s proprietary Category H design technology withstands storm-force wind and rain, while providing high energy efficiency (U value .37). StormBlocker is the perfect solution for storm-prone areas during this highly active hurricane cycle, which U.S. hurricane experts predict will last another 10 to 20 years. What’s more, StormBlocker’s high-impact design provides additional home security.
