Deco Design Center Doors Meet Miami-Dade County Hurricane Impact Codes

Oct. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Deco Design Center, a manufacturer of genuine mahogany entry doors, impact wood doors, mahogany interior doors, french doors and contemporary interior doors announces today its exterior doors meet Florida & Miami-Dade hurricane impact codes. With the increasing hurricane and tropical storm activity in the Atlantic and around the Caribbean islands between July and October which is called "hurricane season" which many tropical storms or tropical waves will develop into major hurricanes such as a cat 4 or cat 5,  having a hurricane built exterior door that is up to Miami-Dade County codes is more important then ever especially if you live in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina or in the Caribbean on the water.

During a major hurricane, a door breach can be devastating which usually occurs in the bottom and top of the panels or joints.  Exterior doors play a crucial important role in maintaining the building calculations and wind loads of a structure such as your house, office and restaurant. A door that is not impact built can easily be breached against air, wind and water.

Deco Design Center hurricane impact front doors have been tested to be used in homes without shutters. Who wants ugly metal shutters in the front entryway of their beautiful and elegant homes?

There are many important factors to consider when choosing impact-resistant doors such as:

- Quality
- Cost
- Designs
- Impact Glass Types
-Multipoint or Surface Bolts
-Hinge, Flush Bolts and Surface Bolts Finishes

There are also many myths when it comes to choosing hurricane impact exterior doors. Make sure the manufacture has NOA's by Miami-Dade County showing not only test results but approvals with the building Department! Any city or state will accept Miami-Dade County impact approvals (NOA) as Dade County building codes are the most strenious in the world. Some door manufacture will tell you they don't have impact approvals but they will provide signed and sealed shop drawings. This is simply not true! All Deco Design Center mahogany impact doors http://www.decodesigncenter.com/miamiDadeApproved.php are not only approved for 2 1/4" thickness but also in 1 3/4" thickness which means they can provide cheaper pricing for those on a budget. Also, their impact doors are approved with and without multipoint locks.
