Lee County Building Code Compliance
Our impact windows surpass the most rigorous coastal building standards in the United States, ensuring your Lee County home is protected against extreme hurricane conditions while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
Lee County Building Department Approval
All our impact windows carry Lee County Building Department certification, representing the highest standard for Southwest Florida hurricane protection. This approval requires passing the nation's most stringent Gulf Coast testing protocols, including large and small missile impact tests plus cyclic pressure testing that simulates Lee County hurricane scenarios.
High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) Certification
Specifically designed for Lee County's barrier island and coastal exposure, our HVHZ-rated windows withstand sustained winds exceeding 180+ mph with complete wind-borne debris protection. This certification is mandatory for all new construction and window replacements in Lee County coastal areas.
Florida Building Code (FBC) Compliance
Beyond Lee County requirements, our windows exceed statewide Florida Building Code standards for coastal structural integrity, energy efficiency, and safety performance. This ensures compatibility with Southwest Florida insurance requirements and building department approvals throughout the region.
Barrier Island Wind Zone Requirements
Lee County includes barrier islands and mainland coastal areas with varying wind zone classifications based on Gulf proximity and elevation. Our certified team selects the appropriate impact window rating for your specific location, ensuring compliance with wind load requirements ranging from 140 mph to 200+ mph design pressures.
Southwest Florida Installation & Permitting
We handle all Lee County building permits, inspections, and coastal regulatory approvals. Our state-licensed installers are certified for Gulf Coast installations and carry full insurance coverage. Every installation includes marine-grade sealing, hurricane-rated anchoring, and final inspection approval to ensure code compliance and warranty protection.
