Impact windows · Miami, FL
Impact windows in Miami, made to order.
Miami-Dade County rewrote its opening-protection rules after Hurricane Andrew, and the Florida Building Code still places this county — with Broward — inside its own high-velocity zone. Every product we configure for a Miami address is checked against documented manufacturer limits before anything moves forward.
What the building code means in Miami
All of Miami-Dade County sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) of the Florida Building Code. Products installed here must carry approvals rated for the HVHZ, and replacing windows or doors requires a permit from the building department. We only state an approval when the document for your exact product and configuration is on file — that check is part of every project review.

Local considerations
Openings that fall outside standard sizing are exactly what made-to-order manufacturing is for: you enter the real measurements, and, on installed projects, professional measurement confirms every opening before an order exists. Nothing is ordered from an assumed dimension.
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.
