Florida Building Code & Hurricane Performance

Rutao Impact Bifold Windows are developed with the Florida market in mind, where compliance and performance are critical.

  • Designed to support impact-resistant laminated glass

  • Reinforced aluminum frame profiles for high wind-load resistance

  • Multi-point locking system to improve structural integrity under pressure

  • Suitable for High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) project requirements (configuration dependent)

The laminated glass remains in place even after impact, helping prevent sudden pressure changes inside the building during hurricanes.Final compliance depends on project configuration, glass thickness, and local approval requirements.

Impact-Resistant Glass Configuration

Glass options can be customized to align with Florida project specifications and local code requirements.

  • Laminated impact glass for hurricane resistance

  • Optional Low-E coatings to improve energy efficiency in hot climates

  • Tinted or clear glass to control solar heat gain

  • Enhanced sound insulation for coastal or urban environments

This makes Impact Bifold Windows suitable for both storm protection and everyday comfort.

Aluminum Frame System for Coastal Environments

Florida’s humid and salt-rich environment demands durable materials. Rutao uses aluminum profiles selected for long-term outdoor performance.

  • Corrosion-resistant aluminum suitable for coastal regions

  • Powder-coated finishes with strong UV resistance

  • Optional thermal break profiles for improved insulation

  • Slim frame design for modern architectural styles

Aluminum frames maintain strength and dimensional stability even under extreme weather conditions.

Bifold Opening Design & Operation

The bifold window system allows multiple panels to fold and stack neatly, creating a wide opening when fully open.

  • Inward or outward folding options

  • Flexible panel configurations based on opening size

  • Smooth-running hardware designed for frequent use

  • Tight panel alignment when closed to ensure sealing

This design is widely used in Florida kitchens, bars, patios, and commercial service windows.

Air, Water & Wind Sealing Performance

Reliable sealing is essential for Florida projects exposed to heavy rain and strong wind.

  • Multi-layer EPDM gaskets for air and water tightness

  • Tight inter-panel sealing when closed

  • Designed to reduce air infiltration and water penetration

  • Compatible with proper flashing and installation systems

Proper installation is critical to achieving optimal performance under Florida weather conditions.
