As a consequence, homeowners may enjoy proven safety and unrivaled product diversity from professionals serving hurricane-prone and code-driven regions. Annie Agrotis, Director of Product Management at ODL, says, “Equipping your portfolio with HVHZ authorized doors means you can confidently service high-opportunity, code-restricted markets. With decades of industry experience and a reputation for dependability, ODL is the partner you can rely on to deliver.”
High-Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) are areas, such as Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in Florida, where products must fulfill the most stringent impact resistance standards. Wind-Borne Debris Regions (WBDRs) are larger areas that require more protection from flying debris during severe storms.
Offering items that meet these requirements is crucial for dealers, remodelers, and builders in terms of regulatory compliance and market growth. ODL’s diverse impact-rated offering, which includes flush glazed HVHZ-approved doors, gives professionals the flexibility and confidence they need to compete in highly competitive markets.
