[quote Ombligo]I'd suggest getting hurricane film on them.. cheap and easy way to strengthen the windows from breakage.
The guy who estimated the job suggested that as an option - for double the cost. And the film won't stop the window from breaking - just keep the glass from shattering into the house. I have aluminum hurricane shutters for all windows in the house so I'll pass on doubling the cost for tinting the patio sliders. The windows I'm replacing will be hurricane resistant but I'll probably still put the shutters up when one threatens.
