Project criteria
Ask the Puerto Rico architect or engineer for the applicable wind, exposure, pressure, impact, anchoring and substrate criteria.
Puerto Rico buyer’s guide
Specify the project for Puerto Rico—not for a generic hurricane zone.
Puerto Rico adopted its own 2018 building-code family and permitting framework. A Florida product document may be useful evidence, but local acceptance, design criteria and permit requirements must be confirmed for the Puerto Rico project.
Exact product evidence
Match the series, configuration, size, glass, frame and installation conditions to the test reports and documents requested by the authority.
Commercial review
Confirm availability, packaging, freight, port handling, duties, delivery, inspection and warranty handling before treating any estimate as final.
