This system has been designed to meet the maximum ASD design wind pressures of +/- 125 psf. For installations in the HVHZ (Broward and Miami-Dade Counties), this system has been tested and passed for wind-driven rain resistance per TAS-100(A).

This product been submitted to the Florida Building Commission (FBC) for formal approval and has gained certification following the February board meeting. Engineering documents for these products are available for download at no cost from the FBC website: https://floridabuilding.org.
