Dear Mr. Laprade:
This Unit 810 as an end unit has a double -hung window in wind load, End Zone 5 and a sliding glass door in
wind load Zone 4. Double Hung: PGT, DH -5660; Sliding Glass door: PGT, SGD-770
Using the ASCE?-10. The following parameters were used:
Top of Highest window or door height is 78 feet,
Exposure D; Wind speed 170 mph; Enclosed Structure;
Based on above, the applied wind pressures are as follows per the proposed replacement glazed units:
Glazed Unit: Applied Wind Pressure:
Zone 5: (1) PGT, 37"x51" double hung window: +64.1/-82.8 psf
Zone 4: (1) PGT, 72"x96" sliding glass door: +54.4/-61.5 psf
It is understood the glazed units to be installed must have a design pressure equal to or exceeding these
respective applied pressures.
If you have any questions, please contact me at any time.
Thank you,
