ENOUGH ABOUT US

HERE A 5 THINGS FL OUTDOOR LOVES ABOUT PALM COAST

Other than build great outdoor project here is what we love most about New Smyrna Beach. Here are five fun facts about Palm Coast Florida:

1. Historical Charm: Flagler Beach is nestled between Daytona Beach and St. Augustine and is known for its retro vibe and lack of high-rise buildings, which allows for unobstructed ocean views. This small town atmosphere is complemented by its rich history and laid-back lifestyle​

2. Marineland: Marineland: Close to Flagler Beach is Marineland, the world’s first oceanarium. Founded in 1938, it offers various marine-related activities and educational talks, contributing to the area's appeal as a destination for both entertainment and learning​.

3. Ecological Haven: The area is an ecological treasure, with nearby parks like the Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park offering scenic trails and a glimpse into Florida’s plantation history. Flagler Beach itself boasts six miles of uncrowded shoreline, offering ample opportunities for fishing, surfing, and simple relaxation​.

4. A Hub for Creativity and Culture: The Flagler County Cultural Council’s Turtle Trail is a unique artistic feature where turtle sculptures are painted by local artists and displayed throughout the community, highlighting the local commitment to both conservation and the arts.

5. Whale Watching: In certain seasons, Flagler Beach becomes a prime spot for whale watching, adding to its allure as a destination for nature enthusiasts looking to catch a glimpse of these majestic marine mammals in their natural habitat

Maimi Dade - Doesn't Mess Around. These Testing Standards Are The Toughest On Planet Earth...

June 18, 20254 min read

There’s Florida Storm Protection… and then there’s Miami-Dade Storm Protection

— and believe me, they are not the same thing.

What so Important About Miami Dade and Motorized Hurricane Screens?

If ASTM is the national standard for testing building products, Miami-Dade County is the special forces unit. When you see something labeled as “Miami-Dade approved” or "Miami-Dade Complient", it means it has survived the most intense, unforgiving tests in the industry. It’s the difference between passing a driving test and qualifying for NASCAR. This county doesn’t just expect your motorized hurricane screen to hold up — it expects it to take a beating, get back up, and do it again. And again.

So why does Miami-Dade take things so seriously?

Because this region sits in what’s called a High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — where storms don’t just visit… they live. Building codes in this region are some of the toughest in the world, and the testing standards that go with them? Even tougher.

When it comes to Hurricane Screen and Motorized Hurricane Screen Here are the Testing Criteria That Mater The Most:

Let’s talk about the three that matter most for your hurricane screen: TAS 201, TAS 202, and TAS 203. These tests make up the Florida trifecta for storm-rated certification.

First comes the TAS 201: The impact test.

A 2x4 wood plank is shot at high speed toward your screen system — not to simulate a hypothetical scenario, but to replicate what actually happens when a hurricane picks up roof shingles, fence posts, or tree limbs and turns them into missiles. If your screen breaks, tears, or collapses? It fails.

Then comes TAS 202: The static pressure test.

This is where they simulate the continuous wind force of a major hurricane pushing against your screen for hours. The product is subjected to high-pressure loads that simulate real-world gusts and wall-pushing winds. It’s not about “sort of holding up.” It’s about holding — period.

Finally, there’s TAS 203: And this one that separates the pretenders from the professionals.

This test simulates cyclic wind loads — the kind you get when a storm breathes. Gust after gust. In, out. Push, pull. Again and again. TAS 203 ensures that your screen isn’t just a one-hit wonder. It proves that the screen can endure sustained punishment and still protect your home without detaching, flexing to failure, or creating weak points.

When a product passes all three of these tests — TAS 201, 202, and 203 — it earns the title “Miami-Dade Approved.” That approval is your proof that the system can take real-world damage, and it’s one of the highest certifications any screen can achieve.

Here Is The Ungly Truth About Motorized Hurricane Screens:

The truth: not all screens on the market go through this testing. Some may be “hurricane-rated” in a general sense — maybe they passed a wind test in a lab somewhere. But they haven’t been through the gauntlet. They haven’t taken a 2x4 to the face, stood against Category 5 wind pressure, or been tortured with pressure cycles for hours.

So if you’re in Florida — especially in areas like Broward, Miami-Dade, or coastal Central Florida — don’t settle for a screen that’s simply “rated.” Demand one that’s approved. Look for the Notice of Acceptance (NOA) from Miami-Dade or the Florida Product Approval Number. These aren’t just technical documents — they’re your insurance that someone took the time to test your screen in the worst-case scenario before it was ever installed on your lanai.

Because in Florida, storms aren’t theoretical. Know the code. Know the difference. Be storm-ready.
