This modern coastal home along Adams Avenue, Miami Beach required a discreet, code-compliant upgrade of all exterior openings. The owner selected TISW CORP to engineer and install hurricane impact windows and large-format sliding door systems, rehabilitate perimeter sealants, and verify performance—while preserving minimalist sightlines and a seamless indoor–outdoor lifestyle typical of Mid-Beach estates.
Client Goals
Achieve HVHZ / Miami-Dade compliance for impact, structural pressure, and water infiltration
Keep ultra-clean profiles with high glass clarity and uniform finishes
Improve comfort through noise reduction, solar control, and tighter air/water seals
Deliver a white-glove, low-disruption installation that protects finishes, pool deck, and landscaping
Challenges & Our Solutions
Challenges
Direct coastal exposure (salt air, wind-driven rain) over long glass elevations
Oversized multi-panel sliders and corner conditions requiring engineered rigging and exact reveals
Interface detailing at balconies/flush thresholds to prevent intrusion during heavy storms
Active residence logistics (staging, crane/smart-lift access, quiet hours)
Impact Systems: Slim aluminum frames with laminated low-E/solar-control glazing; coastal-grade (Kynar®/PVDF or anodized) finishes; corrosion-resistant fasteners/hardware
Water Management: New perimeter joint design with proper backer rod; premium sealants; continuous sill pans and weep strategies; balcony/threshold interface detailing
White-Glove Execution: Room-by-room protection, dust/noise controls, resident-first scheduling, daily photo updates for the owner’s team
QA & Closeout: Targeted hose/chamber testing where specified, punch-list control, inspection sign-offs, warranties, and enrollment in TISW’s maintenance program
