In Florida, impact windows and doors are one of the few home improvements the law itself helps pay for. Florida Statute 627.0629 requires residential insurers to offer discounts and credits for construction features that reduce windstorm losses - and documented opening protection is exactly that.
How the Discount Actually Lands
The discount is real, but it is not automatic. Insurers credit what is documented, and the document that matters is the uniform wind-mitigation inspection form. Here is the path:
- 1. Protect every opening. Credits are strongest when all openings - windows, entry doors, sliders and garage doors - carry rated protection.
- 2. Keep the product approvals. Every unit we install has a product-approval number matched to your address and wind zone; we compile them for you.
- 3. Get the wind-mitigation inspection. A licensed inspector completes the uniform mitigation form documenting your opening protection.
- 4. File it with your carrier. Your insurer applies the windstorm-premium credits - Florida homeowners average around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy, and some homes qualify for more depending on zone and carrier.
