Motorized Screen Specifications for Coastal and High-Wind Regions: HVHZ, Miami-Dade, and ASCE 7 Compliance
KhudakozPublished on: 03/06/2026
Coastal and high-wind-zone projects impose specification demands that inland construction does not: Exposure D wind loads that can exceed 80 psf negative on building corners, HVHZ certification requirements that differ fundamentally from statewide Product Approval, impact certification that must survive windborne debris at 185 mph, and material specifications that must resist salt-air corrosion across a 25-year building service life. This guide gives architects the complete specification framework for motorized screens in these environments.
