Dear Mr. Laprade:
For the above address, the (5) replaced PGT Industries, impact sliding glass doors, Series 5570/2770 and (1)
single hung, Series 5500, the minimum required wind pressures below are based on FBC 2017 wind load
calculations. The applied wind pressures are as follows per the proposed replacement glazed unit for Exposure
D, 40 feet in height: (NOA: 20-0429.05 and 20-0401,03 respectfully):
Unit: Dimensions: Wind Zone: Applied Wind Pressure:
SGD (1) 141.5”x96” 5 +47.1 / -57.1psf;
SGD (1) 106”x96” 5 +47.4 / -57.5psf;
SGD (1) 93.0”x96” 5 +49.0 / -58.1psf;
SGD (2) 69.0”x96” 5 +48.5 / -59.2psf;
SH (1) 52”x62” 5 +51.5 / -67.8psf;
In reviewing respective NOA for the above sliding glass doors and single hung window, the calculated
respective design pressures are less than the respective allowable pressures on their NOA’s, and as such is
acceptable to this office.
If you have any questions, please contact me at any time.
Thank you,
