Guardian 275® Receives 2014 Florida Building Code Approval

Major Industries’ Guardian 275® translucent panel skylights and wall systems were recently proven to be in compliance with the Florida Building Commission’s 2014 Florida Building Code (up to Wind Zone 3 / Level D). Guardian 275® hurricane protection systems are engineered to provide a high level of protection while still offering the same high-quality, diffuse, glare-free light found in Major’s translucent panel systems.

In order to receive Florida Approval (which encompasses most Florida counties), Major’s Guardian 275® translucent systems had to withstand a variety of missile impact, water and air infiltration and pressure load tests. Guardian 275®, with its unique sandwich panel design and use of high-performance materials, offers strong protection against hurricane-force winds and flying debris – without sacrificing the numerous health and environmental benefits that daylighting provides.
