Impact sliding glass doors in Sunny Isles Beach, FL
Nearly 97% of Sunny Isles Beach homes are in multi-unit buildings, most of them towers. We install Miami-Dade NOA impact balcony sliders with the engineered wind pressures and board letter the city requires.
Sunny Isles Beach is a city of condo towers. 96.8% of its homes are in multi-unit buildings, and most of the old Collins Avenue motels were torn down in the 1990s for new construction. Balcony sliders there face strong wind off the water, and higher floors see higher pressure. For beachfront properties on the coastal control line, we check for added state requirements.
The city's permit asks for engineered wind pressures for each opening and a notarized letter from your condo board naming us. It also limits what contractors can charge for permits.
What changes for impact sliders in Sunny Isles Beach
