i've never heard of a treatment that does that, but they do make hurricane film (like tint), pretty sure SoloGuard makes it, so if flying debris hits and breaks your glass windows they will stay together, not let water in, etc etc
actually my Aunt owns a business that installs it in S Florida.
The neighbor across the street just built a new house and it has some type of plastic in the windows (instead of glass) that the code calls for if you do not want to have shutters.
I Don't think it's Lexan. Lexan is bulletproof but it scratches very easy. The best thing to do is have a jamup security system with glass break sensors.
Houses with alarm systems are 3 times less likely to be burglarized and for me the monthly monitoring lowered my home insurance 20%, i actually make money on the deal, (not including the hardware) but in time it will pay for it all I suppose.
