Comments (4)You would be well suited to see what minimum code is and far exceed that. Miami Dade code is pretty comprehensive in this case because of that regions affinity for disastrous storms. I would not install a DP50 door alone unless you plan on have hurricane shutters installed afterwards. While hurricane shutters are nice, the beauty of Impact windows/doors is that you are not relying on the shutters alone. Most people opt for impact windows/doors on vacation properties because they do not need to be there to close them as them would a shutter. The combination of both would give you ultimate impact protection. The Simonton Stormbreaker line is a nice option although I am not sure of their availability in doors....See MoreWind load Pressure vs DP rating
Comments (2)DP ratings are given in PSF, so the numbers you gave are the DP rating that you are required to meet. Those are fairly average ratings for your area, so pretty much any company that sells in your area ought to be able to meet them....See MoreBenor - Miami/Dade-Rated & Energy Efficient?
Comments (2)Buy American, Try PGT Windguard products. Florida based product. These guys stay on the ever changing codes. They are a Florida company. I use there products in my business. They stand behind there products. If you have any problems do they have service techs in N.C? Here is a link that might be useful: PGT Windows...See Morewood vs vinyl
