Miami-Dade Building Code Compliance
Our impact windows meet the most stringent building standards in the United States, ensuring your Miami-Dade home is protected against extreme hurricane conditions while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA)
All our impact windows carry Miami-Dade County Product Approval, the gold standard for hurricane protection. This certification requires passing the most rigorous testing protocols in the nation, including large and small missile impact tests plus cyclic pressure testing that simulates actual hurricane conditions.
High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) Certification
Specifically engineered for Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, our HVHZ-rated windows withstand sustained winds up to 180+ mph with wind-borne debris protection. This certification is mandatory for all new construction and window replacements in Miami-Dade County.
Florida Building Code (FBC) Compliance
Beyond Miami-Dade requirements, our windows exceed statewide Florida Building Code standards for structural integrity, energy efficiency, and safety. This ensures compatibility with insurance requirements and building department approvals throughout Florida.
Wind Zone Requirements
Miami-Dade County is divided into specific wind zones based on proximity to the coast and elevation. Our certified team selects the appropriate impact window rating for your exact location, ensuring compliance with wind load requirements ranging from 140 mph to 200+ mph design pressures.
Professional Installation & Permitting
We handle all Miami-Dade County building permits, inspections, and approvals. Our state-licensed installers are certified for HVHZ installations and carry full insurance coverage. Every installation includes proper flashing, structural anchoring, and final inspection approval to ensure code compliance and warranty protection.
