Pompano Beach Hurricane Preparation

Pompano Beach, Florida, is at significant risk of hurricanes or tropical storms each year. Everything changed in 1992, when Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida, ushering in substantial changes to local building codes. At that time, Broward and Miami-Dade counties were designated as part of what is called a High Velocity Wind Zone. Because of that, Pompano Beach is part of the strictest building codes in the country, and these codes also apply to replacing your windows and exterior doors. New impact-rated windows and exterior doors are fabricated and tested to resist positive and negative pressure generated by hurricanes, and to resist debris being blown about by hurricane-force winds.

Impact-Rated Entrance Doors

The front door to your house is the first significant impression visitors and guests get when they visit your home. Your entrance door makes a powerful statement. The entrance door must look as beautiful as it is strong, and unless you are a very skilled do-it-yourselfer, replacing it is best left to the pros. And the answer is Yes – to the question, do I need a permit to replace my front door?

A hurricane-rated entrance door, also known as an impact-rated entrance door, is tested for specific wind code requirements. Broward, Miami-Dade Counties, and Coastal Palm Beach County are located in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). These areas have been designated to have potential wind speeds of over 140 mph when a hurricane makes landfall. Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida in 1992, prompting the enactment of new building codes to protect homes against such storms. Impact-rated entrance doors are tested to withstand the minimum wind speed for the building’s exposure and structural type. The wind load rating is the amount of positive or negative air pressure exerted against the door without causing it to fail. Entrance doors are also impact tested to withstand flying debris generated by a hurricane. All entrance doors and windows must be impact-rated and meet local building code requirements to qualify for insurance discounts.

An impact-resistant door gives you an added measure of security. Often, thieves break the glass on front, sliding, back, or garage-side entry doors to gain access by reaching through to open the door from the inside, or by kicking the door in. But that is virtually impossible with a properly installed impact-resistant door.
