Code and product review
Miami-Dade projects require HVHZ-appropriate product documentation and local permit review. A brand name alone does not establish approval for every series, size or configuration.

Impact windows for Miami-Dade’s HVHZ requirements.
Miami-Dade is inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The product, size, configuration, glass and installation conditions must align with documentation accepted for the project.
Project workflow
Build the opening schedule, choose the operation and options, then request verification. Installation options are confirmed for the exact address and scope.
