Impact Windows and Doors: Secure Your Home in New Smyrna Beach, Port Orange, and the Space Coast

I’ve lived in Florida my whole life — born and raised right here in the Sunshine State — so I know firsthand how serious our weather can get. Between the storms and the heat, we Floridians have a unique set of challenges when it comes to protecting our homes.

I’ve been installing windows across Central Florida for years, and while most homeowners call us about impact windows for storm protection (which they’re great for), what a lot of people don’t realize is how much extra security they bring to your home.

Here’s what I’ve learned from experience — both as a Florida local and as a pro in the field.

Secure Your Space with Impact Windows and Doors in Central Florida

As a Florida native and professional window installer, I’ve worked on homes from New Smyrna Beach to Melbourne — and if there’s one upgrade I always recommend, it’s impact-rated windows and doors.

At Wrend Residential, we specialize in window and door installation across:

  • New Smyrna Beach

  • Port Orange

  • Cape Canaveral

  • Merritt Island

  • Melbourne

These areas get hit with the full force of Florida’s weather — not to mention the everyday risk of break-ins. That’s where impact windows and doors really shine.

Impact Windows and Doors Provide Built-In Security

Unlike standard glass, impact-rated products use laminated glass designed to resist shattering. Even when struck with force, the glass stays in place thanks to a tough interlayer.

That makes a big difference when it comes to:

  • Protecting your home from storms and flying debris

  • Preventing break-ins and forced entry

  • Reducing noise and energy costs

If you live near the coast — whether it’s Cape Canaveral or Port Orange — this added strength brings serious peace of mind.

Why Homeowners in the Space Coast Choose Impact Protection

Whether you're installing new windows in Merritt Island or upgrading your doors in Melbourne, the same security principles apply: burglars look for weak points.

Most impact-rated windows:

  • Take longer to break through (if at all)

  • Make a ton of noise during attempted entry

  • Keep your home sealed off from intruders

Many of our customers in New Smyrna Beach and surrounding areas also appreciate the storm protection during hurricane season — especially if their property is vacant part of the year.

Florida-Ready, Low Maintenance Protection

Once installed, impact windows and doors work 24/7 — no keys, bars, alarms, or electronics needed. Just solid, energy-efficient protection that blends with your home’s design.

It’s a great option for:

  • Beach homes in Cape Canaveral

  • Condos in Port Orange

  • Family homes in Melbourne or New Smyrna Beach

And yes, they boost curb appeal too.

Ask About Insurance Savings

Most of our customers in Volusia and Brevard County are eligible for insurance discounts after upgrading to impact-rated windows and doors. These upgrades meet building codes and offer both storm resistance and security — something insurance providers love to see.

We always recommend checking with your agent after installation.
