Impact-resistant Patio Rooms – An Innovative Offering Designed To Meet Impact And Non-impact Coastal Building Codes

PGT Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of custom windows and patio rooms, has recently expanded its line of impact-resistant patio rooms to include an innovative offering designed to meet impact and non-impact coastal building codes.

"Families want to enjoy the views their coastal settings provide - that's why they live where they do," according to Mike Smith, brand manager for PGT Industries' patio rooms. "Today's new bulding codes make it difficult to construct a comfortable, attractive patio room that can resist an impact in these coastal areas. Our customers can now build and enjoy a new space specially designed for their coastal home and needs no matter where they live. The addition of patio rooms to our product line satisfies the desire of homeowners for comfort and pleasure as well as most code requirements."

Available in two versions, these enclosed patios allow homeowners to make an attractive addition to their home and meet coastal code requirements at a fraction of the cost of a traditional architectural addition. The non-impact version for these rooms designed especially for patios is designed to meet less stringent building codes. The impact version adds impact-resistant glass to comply with tougher codes.

These attractive enclosed rooms designed for patios combine heavy-duty attachment and anchoring hardware suitable for new construction or use on an existing patio. PGT offers a room that incorporates impact-resistant glass, eliminating the installation of unsightly storm shutters or the removal of weak, scratch-prone acrylic panels prior to a storm.

The PGT impact-resistant patio enclosures meet applicable Florida building code requirements and because it leverages PGT's leadership in storm window protection, and have been designed to satisfy building requirements where they apply in coastal areas stretching from the Gulf Coast of Texas to New York.
