Guides
How this work actually gets specified, costed and built — and the problems worth designing around. Written from public sources, with the references on every page.
Florida splits window anchorage at a buck thickness of 1 1/2 inches. Which side you land on decides whether the anchors reach block or stop in wood, and the two code books word it differently.
Read the guide →Florida requires a permanent label on every impact-resistant covering, placed where an inspector can read it from outside. Here is what it has to say, and the rule that governs swapping parts.
Read the guide →FL EBC 707.4 exempts some window replacements from opening protection, capped at 25 percent of the glazing in any 12-month period. Four conditions, and one thing it does not excuse.
Read the guide →Exposure B, C or D is set by what stands upwind of your house, measured in feet. Section 1609.4.3 gives the distances, and they explain why a canal lot costs more to glaze.
Read the guide →Florida exempts replacement windows from the bedroom egress dimensions — but only if yours is the largest standard size that fits the opening. What that means for an impact quote.
Read the guide →Florida tests the whole assembly — frame, anchorage and fasteners — not the window. Why a product rated for one opening is not rated for the one next to it.
