What is HVHZ?
High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Designated Florida coastal counties (notably Miami-Dade and Broward) where fenestration must carry impact-rated certification and pass tests for missile impact and cyclic pressure. Awning windows for HVHZ projects carry our Miami-Dade NOA.
Do you ship to Florida coastal counties?
Yes. Source-direct shipping to Florida HVHZ counties on the hurricane-impact line. Local HVHZ-approved installer required for installation.
What about the 316 stainless coastal hardware kit?
Coastal install kits substitute 316 stainless hinges for the standard 304 set at no upcharge inside the warranty radius. Multi-point locking is 316 stainless across the line.
