Homeowners who have Simonton StormBreaker Plus windows installed in their homes and have experienced wind-borne debris, should contact their builder or contractor if they have concerns about storm damage to their windows, screens or doors. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to notify and inform the company providing the insurance coverage as to any potential problems that may exist.
Although each window and door may appear to be in good working condition, the effects of the previous event(s) may affect the ability of the product to provide subsequent protection against another high-wind event. Please see the Homeowner Checklist below. This list should be used to inspect each window and door following a high-wind event.

Below is our homeowner

• Check for visual damage on each window. Is the glass broken or cracked as the result of the event? Are vinyl or aluminum members of the frame or sash cracked or damaged as a result of the event?

If the answer is YES to either of these questions, call your insurance company to assess the damage.If the answer is NO, continue to the next check section.

• Ensure the window is still functional. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPERATING WINDOWS IN CASE THE SASH IS NOT SECURED IN THE FRAME!

1. Will the sash move freely up and down?
2. Will the Casement sash crank in and out?
3. Will a door swing out and in? Will a sliding door move freely back and forth?
4. Will a Slider (glider) sash move freely to the left and right?
5. Picture windows are non-operational and will not require this test.
6. Test the locking system. Are you able to lock the window or door?

If the answer is “NO” to ANY of these questions, call your insurance company to assess the damage.
