This Kensington homeowner replaced all 26 openings with Naples impact window installation — vinyl impact-insulated windows throughout, aluminum impact sliding glass doors, and an aluminum impact entry door. The result is a fully protected home with no shutters to deploy, no seasonal preparation required, and a cleaner exterior profile than the original windows delivered.

The most technically demanding aspect of this job was the arched window openings. Several windows on the front elevation featured architectural arches that required custom measurement and a more complex installation process than standard rectangular openings. In older Naples homes, arched openings frequently present a structural challenge: insufficient poured concrete in the arch means the installer must have precise knowledge of proper bucking technique and strict adherence to Collier County building code to achieve a compliant, watertight installation. This is not a job that tolerates guesswork — improper installation in an arched opening can compromise both the window’s impact rating and the structural integrity of the opening itself.

Wind Safe’s installers are trained specifically for these scenarios. Every opening on this job was measured, permitted, and installed to code, including the arched units that required the most careful handling.
