Savannas Preserve wind fetch and half-acre CBS ranch retrofits

Because the vast freshwater marshes of the Savannas Preserve State Park lie immediately east of Indian River Estates between the neighborhood and the Indian River Lagoon, easterly hurricane winds cross open marshland with minimal tree buffer before hitting homes along the eastern perimeter. During the September 2004 Frances and Jeanne landfalls, that open fetch drove hours of hurricane-force gusts across the community, and for Savannas-edge homes in FEMA Flood Zone AE our permit packet confirms the window swap stays well under the FEMA 50% Substantial Improvement rule.

Most homes in Indian River Estates sit on spacious half-acre lots with wide horizontal-roller bedroom windows, picture windows, and multi-panel sliding glass doors facing rear pools or screened porches. Upgrading to Low-E laminated impact glass seals out US-1 highway noise, summer humidity, and flying debris.

Windows and doors for Indian River Estates homes

Concrete-block ranch and split-plan homes throughout Indian River Estates commonly replace 1970s–1990s bronze or mill-finish aluminum sliders and single-hungs with insulated Low-E multi-chamber vinyl or powder-coated aluminum impact windows, out-swing French pool doors, and hurricane-rated garage doors.

Our hinged impact doors (French and entry doors) swing out. Sliding glass doors and garage doors don't swing.

The rules

Wind and missile rules

St. Lucie County is outside the HVHZ. Its Risk Category II wind map runs from 150 to 160 mph, above the 140 mph mark that puts the entire county in the wind-borne debris region.

  • Up to 30 feet: the large-missile test of ASTM E1996.
  • Above 30 feet: the small-missile test of the same standard.
  • Each unit needs a Florida Product Approval, or a Miami-Dade NOA, covering its size and design pressure.
