Built for the Toughest Conditions
Hurricane- and wind-borne debris–region building codes are no longer limited to Florida—they are expanding across the United States and the Caribbean. With the devastation caused by major storms, today’s architects, builders, and homeowners demand products that not only add beauty and light, but also protect life and property.
Lanai Doors™ folding and sliding-gliding systems meet and exceed these expectations. Our systems are rigorously tested to Miami-Dade County and ASTM International hurricane standards, recognized as the gold standard in storm product testing.
Certified for Hurricane Zones
Lanai hurricane-rated folding door systems are engineered to comply with strict building codes:
-
Florida Building Code (FBC) – including High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) requirements for Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.
-
International Building Code (IBC) – adopted by many East Coast and Gulf states.
-
Caribbean Standards – where Miami-Dade certified impact-resistant products are increasingly required.
These codes are based on American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) wind maps, which are periodically updated to reflect the latest data. Whether your project is in Florida, Texas, Hawaii, or the Caribbean, Lanai Doors can provide hurricane-rated solutions for large exterior openings.
