Updated August 2026. You do not have to put impact glass in every opening. You do have to protect every opening that code and your carrier care about. Statewide Windows & Doors will bid a full impact package, a mix of impact and approved shutters, or a phased plan. The honest spec is the one that actually covers the house.

Quick answer

In HVHZ (Miami-Dade and Broward) and most of the coastal wind-borne debris region, glazed openings need approved opening protection: impact windows and doors, or another approved shutter/panel system. One leftover non-rated slider can still be the hole in the envelope. If budget cannot do glass everywhere this year, do not leave openings naked. Put approved shutters on the rest, or phase the glass starting with the big openings.

What “every window” actually means

Code: the building official cares about protected openings, not a brand of glass. Shutters can count if they are approved and used.
The envelope: a broken unprotected lite lets wind and rain in. That is why partial jobs feel cheap until the first storm.
Insurance: wind-mitigation credits usually want the openings covered. Partial glass with nothing on the rest is a weaker form. Confirm with the carrier, do not promise a number.

If you cannot do the whole house at once

Sliding glass doors and other large lites
Ground-floor openings facing the weather
Bedrooms (egress still has to work if you use shutters)
The rest, on a written phase two

Put that sequence on the estimate. A “we will come back” with no date is not a plan.

FAQ

Can I do only the front of the house?

You can. The back sliders are still openings. Most storms do not pick a favorite elevation.

Do garage doors count?

Yes. A non-rated garage door is a large opening. Ask whether it is on the wind-mitigation form.

Will a small bathroom window be fine left alone?

Small is still an opening. If it is glazed and in the debris region, it needs a protection path.
