South Florida Building Code
South Florida residents planning a home renovation project need to understand the Florida building code as it applies to window and door replacements. The FBC requires protected or impact windows and doors for homes within one mile of the coast where the wind speed is at least 110 miles per hour. Installing impact windows is a good idea no matter where you live in Miami Dade County.
What is Hurricane Windows for Residential and Commercial Buildings?
These are windows that have been designed and engineered to be more secure and resistant to extreme weather than standard glass windows. Instead of standard glass, hurricane windows use laminated glass. Hurricane-resistant windows can withstand high winds and protect against debris blown against them.
Difference Between Hurricane Windows and Impact Windows and Doors
Impact windows and hurricane windows are similar but have a few unique differences. Impact windows are strong enough to keep wind and flying debris out of your home. Hurricane windows take things to the next level. Manufacturers construct them to meet local requirements and specific building codes.
American Impact Windows & Doors meet or exceed the most stringent building codes in Miami-Dade County. They provide UV protection, noise reduction, and additional home security, in addition to protecting your home and family from hurricanes.
How Hurricane Windows Work
Hurricane impact windows are similar in construction to vehicle glass. A hurricane-resistant window’s laminated insulating glass is made up of two pieces of reinforced glass with a flexible yet strong polymer layer.
The polymer layer remains intact even if flying debris shatters the window glass. This effectively shields the interior of your home from rain, wind, and the rest of the storm. It also keeps the impact glass from shattering and injuring anyone in the house.
Do You Need Impact Doors and Windows?
Do you live in Miami Dade County or another hurricane-prone coastal area? If this is the case, local building codes may require hurricane-proof windows and doors to be installed by a certain year or during new construction.

Even if your county does not currently require compliance, installing impact doors and windows is a good idea. American Impact Windows & Doors provides a wide range of window options to meet the needs of your home, including tempered glass windows.
