Skylights-what is better glass or plastic in the hurricane-prone areas of the US?

Go with Velux. They offer a laminate designed to Dade County/Miami standards.

There is nothing worse than buying cheap skylights and having them leak on you. In skylights, quality makes all the difference!

I also have Velux and they have never leaked at all in the 10 years of winters and summers in CT
