Windstorm Door & Frame Assemblies
Windstorm Rated Doors & Frames
Hurricanes and storms in the United States have been responsible for the tragic loss of life and billions of dollars in property damage. In response, building codes have been adopted to enhance the integrity of coastal region properties against these catastrophic events. Premier has tested and certified numerous door assemblies and applications to meet windstorm rating requirements called for in ANSI/SDI 250.13, ASTM E1886, ASTM E1996, ASTM E330, as well as Florida Building Code protocols TAS 201, 202, and 203. Premier door assemblies are FBC and TDI approved. Windstorm assemblies are certified and listed with both UL and NAMI.
Premier hurricane-resistant products have been tested to wind load and impact requirements defined in the International Building Code (IBC) and the Florida Building Code (FBC) and have received approval by the Florida Building Commission and Texas Department of Insurance (TDI). Premier assemblies are tested for design pressures, impact resistance, glass and glazing materials, and specific commercial hardware applications.
