How Strong are Aluminum Screen Rooms?

Aluminumn Screen Enclosures are required by law to be constructed to the same wind loads as the host structure. In Florida, those wind loads were adjusted in the 2010 Building Code, which was adopted recently and began effect on March 15 2012. In North Florida, particularly the Tallahassee area, wind zones were increased by 10 mph. Many 110 mph wind zones were increased to 120 mph. Likewise, in Wakulla County, most 120 mph zones were increased to 130.












Moreover, Building Departments require sealed engineered drawings to accompany permit submissions for screen rooms and pool enclosures. So any job you have done on your home that is permitted has met the wind load requirements. All Custom Aluminum is proud to have retained Sound Structures Engineering as our source for sealed drawings, specifications, and expertise.
