Information That Helps Our Engineers
When you request specifications, it helps to tell us the building type, the code edition and wind design criteria that apply, whether the building is an essential facility, and the number and size of openings. Projects may require specific impact levels or design pressures; read our guides to ASTM E1996 missile levels and design pressure ratings for background, and always confirm current product approvals with our team before bidding.
