What Are Your Code Requirements?

Many local and state authorities have enacted stringent building codes to help home owners to protect their properties and families. This is a result of many severe hurricanes that have ravaged a few states over the last decade.

Every state and even some counties vary when it comes to building codes. Always check with your local building authorities for the most recent standard and guidelines in your area prior to building a new structure, or remodeling an existing one. For those of you in Southern Florida, we will handle the permits and will be sure our products and methods are covered by our local codes.

At SafeHarbor®, we’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that our impact-resistant windows are hurricane-ready, and in compliance with as many building codes as possible.

(If you are outside of our service area be sure to check with your contractors to ensure they are fully licensed to construct hurricane-code compliant properties. This may not necessarily be applicable in all areas, but is a requirement of many local governments of south coast communities.)

Our Code Is Safety First!

Every Impact-Resistant Window features a laminated glass system with a .090″ thick interlayer. This added membrane will provide the impact resistance that many building codes demand.

Impact Window Construction

Other Key Features:

Locks with greater durability, which offers great theft protection.
Lower noise infiltration for even greater peace of mind.
More rigid frames for durability and longer life.

Don’t let your windows be the weak point of your construction project. Combining beauty with hurricane resistance can set your project above the rest. Shutters and other hurricane protection options don’t always allow for optimal views from both inside and outside of a home!
