From Mizner Mediterranean to "Modern" architecture, planning for hurricane glazing systems has become infinitely more complex.
From Mizner Mediterranean to "Modern" architecture, planning for hurricane glazing systems has become infinitely more complex. Architects and builders are struggling to master new complex detail planning while manufacturers are releasing new hurricane tested windows and doors every year.
Window dealers are either thinking in "punched openings" or simple commercial storefront concepts - fill the opening fast without the expertise to understand everything that has to come together around the glazing systems. They are also limited to the one or two manufacturers they have always sold.
Every detail, every transition and reveal needs to be perfectly planned for from the shell to align perfectly from floor to ceiling to wood and stone cladding.
I help architects, builders, and owners select, specify, and detail luxury residential hurricane glazing systems without manufacturer or dealer biases. I also give classes in all aspects of hurricane windows and doors on glass aesthetics and energy performance, manufacturer product overviews, detailed installation planning and best practices, and understanding hurricane product approvals.
