Impact Windows & Doors
Palm Beach
The Town of Palm Beach is one of the most exclusive residential communities in the United States — a narrow barrier island of historic estates, oceanfront mansions, and luxury properties. Its barrier island geography means direct Atlantic and Intracoastal exposure, making realistic product selection for actual site conditions as important as meeting code minimums.

What Qualifies in Palm Beach
The Town of Palm Beach is outside the HVHZ designation, but as a narrow barrier island with direct Atlantic and Intracoastal exposure, actual wind loads here are among the highest in Palm Beach County. Florida Product Approval (FL#) is accepted — product selection should reflect realistic exposure conditions, not just code minimums.
