Dear Mr. Laprade:
For the above address, the (1) replaced PGT Industries, sliding glass door, Series SGD-670, the minimum
required wind pressures below are based on FBC 2017 wind load calculations. The applied wind pressures are
as follows for the proposed replacement glazed unit for Exposure D, with builing height of 130 ft, per below
and NOA: 20-0429.07:
Series: Door or Window: Height Wind Zone: Applied Wind Pressure:
SGD-670 141.25”x95.25” 10 ft 5 +60.7 / -73.3psf
In reviewing respective NOA for the above windows, the calculated respective design pressures are less than
the respective minimum allowable pressures of +/-73.8 psf, and as such are acceptable to this office.
If you have any questions, please contact me at any time.
Thank you,
