Monroe County Building Code Compliance
Our impact windows exceed the most demanding coastal building standards in the United States, ensuring your Monroe County island property is protected against extreme hurricane conditions while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
Monroe County Building Department Approval
All our impact windows carry Monroe County Building Department certification, meeting the highest standard for island hurricane protection. This approval requires passing the nation's most rigorous coastal testing protocols, including large and small missile impact tests plus cyclic pressure testing that simulates Florida Keys hurricane conditions.
High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) Certification
Specially engineered for Monroe County's extreme island exposure, our HVHZ-rated windows withstand sustained winds exceeding 180+ mph with comprehensive wind-borne debris protection. This certification is mandatory for all new construction and window replacements in the Florida Keys.
Florida Building Code (FBC) Compliance
Beyond Monroe County requirements, our windows exceed statewide Florida Building Code standards for coastal structural integrity, energy efficiency, and marine safety. This ensures compatibility with island insurance requirements and building department approvals throughout the Keys.
Coastal Exposure Wind Zone Requirements
Monroe County is classified as the highest risk coastal wind zone due to its island geography and hurricane exposure. Our certified team selects the appropriate impact window rating for your specific Keys location, ensuring compliance with wind load requirements of 200+ mph design pressures.
Marine Environment Installation & Permitting
We handle all Monroe County building permits, inspections, and coastal regulatory approvals. Our state-licensed installers are certified for extreme marine environment installations and carry comprehensive island insurance coverage. Every installation includes marine-grade sealing, hurricane-rated anchoring, and final inspection approval to ensure code compliance and warranty protection.

VT
Visible Transmittance - measures amount of visible light transmitted
Air Leakage
Measures air passage through window assembly
