Florida commercial and industrial end-users want to know that the door product they apply to facility door openings is compliant with Florida wind-code. Cities such as Sarasota, Bradenton, Tampa, Naples and Lakeland can all vary. Furthermore, if the building is near an open field, a pond lake or bay can affect the how the door is constructed and braced.
When you are talking Florida Wind-Code for doors you better be talking to the experts. Wind Code enforcement is serious. Post hurricane insurance claims can be denied for code infractions. Lawsuits can occur for code negligence with potential personal culpability!
Take the time to talk to with your door expert. Make sure they know the facts.
