Is Your Business Ready for Hurricane Season? Safety Glass Solutions

As hurricane season approaches South Florida, business owners in Pembroke Park, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and surrounding areas face critical decisions to protect their commercial properties. The region’s powerful storms can cause major damage, not only endangering staff and customers but also disrupting business operations. At STN Glass, we understand the unique challenges faced by local businesses and offer expert safety glass solutions to ensure your property is storm-ready.

Understanding Hurricane Risks to Local Businesses

South Florida’s tropical climate brings with it an annual risk of hurricanes and severe weather. Broken glass from windows and doors is one of the most common and dangerous outcomes of high winds and flying debris. Beyond the immediate dangers, damaged glass can lead to:

• Water intrusion, causing structural and inventory damage
• Increased insurance claims and higher premiums
• Prolonged business closures and lost revenue
• Potential liability issues if employees or customers are injured

Investing in high-quality safety glass and professional installation is a proactive way to minimize these risks and maintain business continuity.

What is Safety Glass, and Why Is It Essential?

Safety glass is engineered to withstand impact, reduce injury risk, and enhance building security during hurricanes and other emergencies. The two most popular options for commercial glass installation in hurricane-prone areas are tempered glass and laminated glass.

Tempered Glass

• Four to five times stronger than standard glass
• Shatters into small, blunt pieces for safety
• Suitable for storefronts, glass partitions, and interior barriers

Laminated Glass

• Consists of two or more glass sheets bonded with an interlayer
• Holds together when shattered, preventing dangerous shards
• Provides added sound insulation and UV protection
• Ideal for windows, doors, and ground-level entrances

At STN Glass, we offer customized tempered and laminated glass solutions, ensuring your business meets local safety codes and insurance requirements.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Commercial Glass Before Hurricane Season

Proactive glass replacement and upgrades offer multiple advantages for South Florida businesses, including:

Enhanced Building Security

Safety glass resists forced entry and impact, helping deter break-ins and vandalism during storm evacuations.

Compliance with Local Codes

Many municipalities require impact-resistant glass or protective barriers for commercial buildings.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Modern safety glass improves insulation and may lower energy bills by minimizing heat transfer.

Reduced Replacement Costs

Investing now helps prevent expensive repairs and downtime later.
