Each phase of your Broward County impact door project.
Approved impact door options for Broward County installations.
Minimum design wind speed for most Broward locations. Coastal HVHZ areas require 180+ mph.
Must pass 9-lb 2x4 lumber impact at 50 fps per ASTM E1996 and TAS 201.
Florida Product Approval required. HVHZ areas require Miami-Dade NOA approval.
Must follow manufacturer's NOA installation requirements exactly. No field modifications.
With proper planning, most residential impact door projects complete in 4-6 weeks from permit application to final inspection. The installation itself typically takes 1-2 days, but permit review (1-2 weeks) and product manufacturing/delivery (1-2 weeks) add to the overall timeline.
Yes. All impact-rated door installations in Broward County require a building permit. You'll need product approval documentation (NOA or Florida Product Approval), installation details matching the approval, and contractor licensing verification for the permit application.
HVHZ (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) impact doors must pass Miami-Dade's large missile impact test and 9,000 pressure cycles. Non-HVHZ doors only need standard Florida Building Code approval. HVHZ doors cost 15-25% more but are required in certain Broward coastal areas.
Most of Broward County requires impact doors rated for 170-180 mph wind speeds. Coastal areas within the HVHZ boundary may require 180+ mph ratings. Your specific address determines the exact requirement - our analysis provides your precise wind speed needs.
