Updated August 2026. West Palm Beach is Palm Beach County. Openings need approved protection: impact windows and doors, or another approved shutter system. The title on this page says storm proof because that is the original ranking URL. The product is impact-rated, not storm-proof. Statewide Windows & Doors covers West Palm Beach from Boca Raton. Call (561) 816-4010.

Quick answer

Laminated impact glass can crack and still hold the opening. That is the tested behavior. It is not impossible to break, and it is not a substitute for a permitted install that matches the Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA on your sizes and design pressures.

What a West Palm Beach job actually turns on

  • Permit: city of West Palm Beach. Permit should be in the bid.
  • CBS openings: waterproof the block. See block waterproofing.
  • Security: laminated glass is harder to get through than annealed. It is not a lock. Doors and hardware still matter.
  • Shutters vs glass: both can meet code if they are approved and actually used.

FAQ

Will nothing get through?

No. Do not use that claim. The interlayer is meant to keep the opening closed after impact. Extreme hits can still fail a unit or the surrounding wall.
