Impact-resistant
glazing requirements are expanding beyond the Gulf
Coast and Florida!
All contractors and architects should be aware that
anywhere along the Atlantic coastline or high wind
areas building code guidelines are in the process
of being evaluated or changed to meet the Miami-Dade
County Coastal Zone Impact Requirements.
Century Woodworking has completed extensive research
and development to meet the forces of Mother Nature.
Our WeatherSafe Windows have passed the test for impact
resistance.
