Design Pressure Ratings
In most area’s the minimum requirement by Florida State code is a design pressure of 35 and as high as 60 in HVHZ hurricane zones.
How do you know if you are in a hurricane zone?
How do you know what the proper DP rating should be?
This is the most abused code requirement in Florida. Some companies will install anything to make a sale.
FAS Windows & Doors will not install any product just to make a sale.
We have three processes in place to ensure that the products you choose will meet these strict requirements.
- Sales representatives carry laptops and use manufacturer specifications to verify proper DP ratings.
- FAS Windows & Doors has a purchasing department to process all orders and double check the DP ratings by municipality per code requirement before ordering the desired product.
- FAS Windows & Doors will pull a permit on all jobs.
There is a final check by the county before the permit is issued and verification that the correct products will be installed. If a permit is not pulled the home owner will run the risk of getting caught and having to replace the products with products that meet code at their own expense.
