On the Hillsboro Mile, the balcony slider is the biggest piece of glass the beach can see. We install impact sliders with the tint the town's turtle rule calls for and handle the permit form.
Most Hillsboro Beach homes are condo units with a balcony slider facing the ocean or the Intracoastal. On a barrier island along the 3.2-mile Hillsboro Mile, those openings take wind straight off the water.
The turtle rule matters most here. Beach-visible sliders should have glass tinted to a shading coefficient of .45 or less. Without tint, interior lights must be screened or off from sundown to sunup, March 1 to October 31. We order tinted impact sliders and coordinate the install with your board.
The town's replacement permit form asks whether the unit can be seen from the beach and whether the glass is tinted to a shading coefficient of .45 or less.
