Toward the year 2007 many buildings were constructed at the southern Florida. In that time, the mayor company in fabrication and installation of glass against hurricanes (product known as Impact Windows) was called RC Aluminum industries, at that time RC Aluminum industries was doing installations to about 30 buildings that were being build and having impact windows installed on them. We were part of that big team, more than 60% of the buildings that were under construction and installing impact windows, were from RC Aluminum.
With that amount of buildings under construction, the need of sharing a service of maintenance and windows repair come up, the big companies of windows do not have the logistic to cover this need in an effective way. In march of 2009, with the support of the owners (see recommendation cart) of RC Aluminum, Juan Carlos and Yussef (past workers of RC) build a company with the purpose of sharing a service of fixing impact windows, to those buildings that needed a company with the knowledge of those systems, a company that could have the original parts, and also borrowing any type of service in a fast way.

IGS EXPERIENCE:
Yussef (who is an architect graduated in Colombia) dedicates 5 years in RC Aluminum, improving the develop of different systems (fixed windows, single hung, horizontal roller, project out, casement, sliding door, swing doors). Day by day he evaluated the system defects and try possible fixes. Moving forward, he worked as a consultor in a company dedicated to the installation of windows in different buildings, during the construction, he verifies that were perfectly installed and fulfilling with the performance established by “Notice of acceptance (NOA)”. During this time, he knew and evaluated the functions and the development of the systems offered by the other windows makers, installed primary in buildings, such as continental Glass systems, Gamma, Delta Doors, Glass Wall, and beyond.
Meanwhile Juan Carlos (graduated of industrial engineering, previously working in logistics) had the opportunity of implementing the control on the installation process, statistics of installation times and budget, and know about the process of estimating the costs of windows installation.
The education, previous experience and knowledge on the world of windows, gave that solid base for the creation of impact Glass Services.
If you live in a building near the beach and you had installed an Impact Window, IGS knows that product and had fix it.
With the purpose of being updated on the world of Windows, we program periodic training reunions with the cooperation of our providers (Silicones, screws, PPE, occupational health, water testing, etc)
