Broward County Product Approval & NOA
All our impact windows possess Broward County Building Department approval, meeting the premier standard for hurricane protection. This certification demands successful completion of the nation's most demanding testing procedures, including large and small projectile impact evaluations plus cyclic pressure testing that replicates real hurricane conditions.

Florida Building Code (FBC) Compliance
In addition to Broward County mandates, our windows surpass statewide Florida Building Code requirements for structural performance, energy conservation, and safety protocols. This guarantees compatibility with insurance specifications and building department certifications throughout Florida.
Wind Zone Requirements
Broward County is segmented into designated wind zones determined by coastal proximity and elevation levels. Our certified specialists select the correct impact window rating for your precise location, ensuring adherence to wind load specifications ranging from 140 mph to 200+ mph design pressures.

We manage all Broward County building permits, inspections, and regulatory approvals. Our state-licensed installers are qualified for HVHZ installations and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage. Every installation features proper weatherproofing, structural attachment, and final inspection clearance to guarantee code compliance and warranty validity.
