In 1992 Mother Nature visited Miami-Dade County with a vengeance through a hurricane named Hurricane Andrew.  Due to the devastation that Hurricane Andrew left after exiting Miami-Dade County, many building codes were changed, not only for Miami-Dade County but for Broward, Palm Beach, and Monroe Counties also.

HOMEOWNERS need to know that even though no one can control Mother Nature, there are ways of helping protect the home.  Windows and Doors need to meet a specific wind load, even if they are not impact window and doors.  All non-impact window and doors need hurricane protection.  Hurricane protection comes in a variety of choices:  Aluminum or Galvanized Steel Panels with Headers and Studded Sills; Accordions; Roll-up Shutters; Bahama Shutters; Colonial Fold Shutters; Hurricane Resistant Clam Shells; Panels with Direct Mount (no header or sill).

 IMPACT GLASS does not require a hurricane shutter.  Impact Glass is hurricane resistant, not hurricane proof!  Commercial and Residential impact glass is offered in operable and fixed units.  Operable units are Single Hung Windows, Projected Windows, Casement Windows, Horizontal Rolling Windows, Sliding Glass Doors, Swinging Doors, Fixed Glass, Storefront Fixed, and Storefront Doors.

Southern Window Technology has been in business since October 1992.  We have the knowledge and expertise to help you protect your home from Hurricanes; all our products are Miami-Dade County approved with a Notice of Acceptance number.  Warranties on non-impact and impact products are offered from the manufacture that manufactures your window and doors. 

DADE COUNTY CODE STANDARDS FOR HURRICANE PROTECTION
Since Hurricane Andrew, new building codes and requirements have been mandated and are active in many states to provide better hurricane protection for property, possessions and family.  New building codes and requirements have been enacted in several states. The Florida Building Code that went into effect on March 1, 2002, means much more strict requirements for homeowners and builders. Builders in coastal counties will be required to strengthen houses to withstand winds of 110 to 150 miles per hour depending on approved hurricane shutters or impact resistant windows and Impact doors for Hurricane Protection. Make sure your hurricane shutters, hurricane windows, and impact doors meet all code requirements so you and your family can have proper hurricane protection.
