In Miami-Dade County, impact products must carry a Notice of Acceptance and be installed to the approved anchoring pattern — otherwise the assembly is not code compliant, will not pass inspection.
Beyond storm protection, impact glass cuts Biscayne Boulevard traffic noise noticeably and reduces UV fading on floors and furniture. Most homeowners notice the quiet before they ever see a storm.
Why this matters in North Miami
