Wind-borne debris region, not HVHZ
Openings must be impact-rated or protected, but products need Florida Product Approval rather than an HVHZ approval. A Miami-Dade NOA is also accepted.

Impact windows and doors in Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the rules differ from Broward and Miami-Dade. The whole county is a wind-borne debris region, and design wind speeds step down from the coast inland. We install from Boca Raton up through West Palm Beach and out to Wellington.

“I had a great experience with Modern Window Solution. Another company had previously installed my windows but left the job unfinished, made several mistakes, and didn’t even pull a permit.”

Do I need impact windows in Palm Beach County?
The county is a wind-borne debris region, so openings need impact-rated products or approved protection such as shutters. Impact windows handle both in one product.
Is a Miami-Dade NOA required here?
No. Florida Product Approval is the standard in Palm Beach County, and a Miami-Dade NOA is also accepted.
