Florida's hills change the wind
Clermont's rolling hills are unusual for Florida — and they matter for windows. Elevated homes on ridgelines catch more wind than homes in flat terrain; there's a reason the Citrus Tower needed to be built tall to see over everything. Higher exposure means your windows' DP rating deserves real attention, not a guess. We spec ratings against the code for your specific elevation and exposure.
The lake chain
Lake Minneola, Lake Minnehaha, Lake Louisa — Clermont's chain of lakes gives hundreds of homes waterfront glass with open-water wind fetch. Big sliders and picture windows facing the water are the priority: impact-rated, low-E coated for the sun reflecting off the lake, and properly sealed against wind-driven rain that hits harder across open water.
Growth and builder-grade windows
Clermont's explosive growth means thousands of homes with recent builder-grade windows — code-minimum products that will underperform for decades. If your home is less than 15 years old and already hot, loud, or drafty, the windows are the likely culprit, and upgrading the glass package now beats living with it for 20 years.
