Storm Resistant

Hurricane protection for your family

Concrete Block & Wind

Ever wonder why 99% of the homes in south Florida are made with some kind of concrete construction-usually concrete block? Well it’s because of the south Florida building codes. After hurricane Andrew in 1992, residents, code officials, engineers and designers all realized that the building codes for Florida and particularly south Florida needed to be beefed-up in order to ensure that homes and apartments would be safer, stronger and able to stand up against powerful hurricanes that would most probably hit Florida in the future.

Because of those beefed-up building requirements, it became less and less practical to use wood-frame construction and more practical to use concrete block. Concrete block’s heavier weight and it ability to retain its strength up against even the strongest winds have proven it’s the product of choice in Florida.

As our climate and weather conditions change due to warming of the oceans the strength and shear number of powerful hurricanes affecting our state have and will continue to grow. That’s why concrete block is growing in popularity all over the state-not just on the coastal areas but throughout the central regions of Florida.

It can withstand winds up to 250 miles per hour and provide extra security during hurricanes, tornadoes and even earthquakes.
