Impact windows · Delray Beach, FL
Impact windows in Delray Beach, sized to your site.
Delray Beach is in Palm Beach County, outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — a different approval regime from Broward, ten minutes to the south. Getting that context right changes which product approvals apply to your openings.
What the building code means in Delray Beach
Delray Beach is in Palm Beach County, which is not part of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the HVHZ covers only Miami-Dade and Broward. Openings here fall under the wind-borne debris provisions of the Florida Building Code: impact-rated products or approved protection, with required design pressures determined by your specific site and exposure. Replacement work is permitted through the local building department, and product approvals are evaluated against your site’s pressures during review.

Local considerations
One question to put to the city before you configure anything: is your property inside a designated historic district, and does that add a review step ahead of the building permit? Ask it early — made-to-order products are configured once, and configurable frame colors and grid patterns are what let a modern impact product match the look of the openings it replaces.
Choose the right project path
For material-only supply, you provide the opening sizes used for manufacturing; professional measurement is not included. For installed projects, the measurements you enter start the review and professional measurement confirms the openings before ordering.
