The Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) is the most demanding hurricane building code in the United States. Products that meet HVHZ are certified for the full range of hurricane exposure — including Category 5 storm conditions. MaxForce is one of a very small number of retractable screen systems in the world to hold this certification.

When a project is located in a wind-rated zone, coastal area, or jurisdiction requiring hurricane protection documentation, MaxForce provides the certification stack that satisfies the AHJ, the structural engineer, and the owner's representative — without the value-engineering conversations that follow when a non-certified system is specified.
