In regions like the Bahamas, where hurricanes are frequent and salt air is constant, window and door performance is about more than aesthetics—it's about survival. For Monte, a homeowner building his modern dream home, ROPO supplied a full solution of aluminum hurricane impact windows and doors designed to withstand both powerful storms and tropical corrosion.
Project Overview

The Challenge: Storm-Proof and Corrosion-Resistant
Monte needed a reliable solution for his coastal property, located in one of the most hurricane-exposed regions in the Atlantic. ROPO engineers recommended a storm window system that combines strength, weather resistance, and long-lasting performance.
ROPO's aluminum hurricane impact windows meet large missile impact test
Large Missile Impact Test
ROPO's aluminum hurricane impact windows have officially passed the Large Missile Impact (LMI) testing standard—meaning they successfully withstood multiple strikes from a 2×4 lumber (9 lb) launched at 50 ft/s—while remaining intact within their frames under Miami-Dade / Florida Building Code criteria
🛡️ What This Means
Large Missile Impact (LMI): A standard test firing a 2×4 wooden missile to simulate hurricane debris. To pass, the window must absorb the strikes and stay sealed in its frame, preventing breaches .
Pressure Cycling Test: Post-impact, windows undergo thousands of pressure cycles to mimic hurricane pressure swings. Passing this confirms structural integrity after debris impact .
