When it comes to storm preparedness in Florida, not all protection solutions are created equal. Building standards are higher, weather conditions are more demanding, and regulatory compliance matters. That’s why StormArmour’s Florida approval is an important milestone for homeowners, condo managers, and property professionals across the state. What Does Florida Approved Mean? A Florida-approved product meets specific performance and regulatory requirements designed for high-risk, storm-prone environments. These standards help ensure that a product has been evaluated for durability, reliability, and suitability under severe weather conditions common throughout the state. StormArmour’s Florida approval confirms that the product aligns with these statewide requirements, providing an added layer of confidence for use in residential and multi-unit properties. Beyond Miami-Dade County Approval StormArmour® is not only approved at the county level. In addition to Miami-Dade County approval, one of the most stringent jurisdictions in the country, StormArmour is also approved for use across the state of Florida. This broader approval reinforces StormArmour’s performance and compliance beyond a single local jurisdiction, supporting its use in coastal and inland communities alike. Why Florida Approval Matters for Condo Managers and Property Professionals For condo managers and property professionals, water intrusion is more than a maintenance concern. It represents a potential liability, a source of resident disruption, and a long-term financial risk. Florida approval helps support informed decision-making by confirming that a storm protection solution has met recognized standards. This is especially important for: Multi-unit residential properties Coastal and storm-exposed buildings Communities seeking proactive risk management strategies Properties focused on long-term asset preservation Addressing a Common Vulnerability: Sliding Glass Door Tracks Wind-driven rain often enters buildings through overlooked areas, and sliding glass door tracks are one of the most common entry points during storms. StormArmour is engineered specifically to address this vulnerability. By targeting the door track directly, StormArmour helps reduce the risk of water intrusion that can lead to interior damage, resident complaints, and costly remediation. Built for Florida’s Storm Conditions StormArmour is designed with Florida’s climate in mind. The product is: Engineered specifically for sliding glass door tracks Designed for fast, tool-free installation when storms approach Reusable season after season Laboratory tested under severe weather conditions These features make StormArmour a practical solution for properties that require reliable, deployable protection without permanent alterations. A Proactive Approach to Storm Readiness Storm preparedness should begin well before a storm is named. Choosing Florida-approved solutions allows property owners and managers to plan ahead, reduce emergency response demands, and protect both residents and assets. StormArmour’s Florida approval supports a proactive approach to water intrusion prevention, helping communities prepare with confidence rather than react under pressure.

SUNRISE, FL — February 1, 2026 — GL Homes® announced today that it is endorsing StormArmour, marking the first time in the company’s history that it has formally endorsed a third-party product. StormArmour is a Miami-Dade NOA approved hurricane and storm-mitigation system designed to prevent wind-driven rain from entering through the tracks of sliding glass doors; one of the leading causes of damage during hurricanes and severe weather events in Florida homes. “While today’s homes are built to meet rigorous wind standards, water intrusion through the tracks of sliding glass doors remains a persistent and costly vulnerability,” said Misha Ezratti, President at GL Homes. “When a storm is approaching, adding StormArmour provides a practical, engineered solution that enhances home resilience.” Damage caused by wind-driven rain entering through sliding glass door tracks may be excluded from both homeowners insurance policies and sliding glass door manufacturer warranties, leaving homeowners exposed to significant repair costs. StormArmour provides protection at the point of entry, helping to reduce the risk of interior water damage during severe weather events. GL Homes’ endorsement reflects its commitment to innovation, quality, and practical solutions that enhance home resilience beyond minimum building standards.

We’re proud to share that StormArmour® was recently featured in Politico’s Florida Playbook as part of an exclusive interview with Kevin Guthrie, Executive Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. As hurricane season begins, Guthrie outlined his top three preparedness tips for Floridians — and one of them was StormArmour®. StormArmour®: A Trusted Hurricane Prep Tool In the article, Guthrie drew attention to StormArmour® as a highly effective solution for preventing rain from entering homes and condos through sliding glass doors and windows. He explained: “Another tool Guthrie is drawing attention to is called Storm Armour, one that’s extremely effective in preventing rain from coming in sideways through sliding glass doors and windows. Think of it as working like a sandbag,” Guthrie said. What makes StormArmour® especially important is its role in condos, where water intrusion in upper-level units can seep down into lower levels, compounding storm damage. “It takes a handful of minutes to install,” Guthrie added, noting that StormArmour® can help avoid tens of thousands of dollars in potential storm damage. Built for Homes, Condos, and Peace of Mind Retailing at $585, StormArmour® offers an affordable, reusable, and proven way to block up to 99% of water intrusion through sliding glass door tracks. Officials and emergency managers alike see it as a smart alternative to sandbags — one that installs in minutes, stores compactly, and delivers lasting protection. By highlighting StormArmour®, Guthrie reinforced the importance of private-public partnerships in preparing Florida for stronger, more frequent storms. Be Ready Before the Storm We’re honored that Florida’s top emergency management leader is recognizing StormArmour® as part of the state’s hurricane readiness conversation.
