The proposed window must be approved for the wind forces at its particular opening. Those forces depend on the address, building height, surroundings and position on the wall. The project team compares the required pressures with the exact window model, size, glass and installation instructions. You do not need to calculate these values before contacting us.<\/p>

A Hollywood window must meet the required positive and negative pressure for its opening. The Broward retrofit schedule lists the product rating alongside the required pressure, opening size and zone. Check both pressure directions and the approved installation instead of choosing by an advertised wind speed.<\/p><\/details>\n

Broward County is within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). A statewide approval must show HVHZ approval for the exact impact-resistant item; a Miami-Dade NOA must cover the proposed configuration and installation.<\/p>\n

Compare the required positive and negative design pressures for each opening with the approved size, glass, frame, mullions and anchoring. A product-family name or advertised mph rating does not establish that match.<\/p>\n
