HVHZ·Broward County

High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — Broward County requires products certified for HVHZ use, tested to Florida's HVHZ hurricane impact standards. Accepted certifications: Miami-Dade NOA or a Florida Product Approval with explicit HVHZ endorsement. A standard Florida Product Approval without HVHZ certification is not sufficient. Products and installation must be rated for winds of 175 mph and above. We handle all of this.

Impact Windows & Doors
Parkland

Parkland consistently ranks among Florida's safest and most livable cities, with carefully planned neighborhoods and a strong community character. Its western Broward location provides some inland shelter, but all Parkland properties remain within the HVHZ — and HOA coordination is as significant a project step here as the building permit itself.
