Read the door entries on the wind-mitigation form
How Florida's uniform mitigation verification form treats glazed and non-glazed entry doors and sliding glass doors.
What is not established
- Premium credit amounts depend on each insurer's filed rates; no outcome is established.
- When a door with a small lite counts as glazed is not defined on the form.
- This guide is not an inspection or insurance advice.
What the form records
- Opening protection expressly includes doors and sliding glass doors.
- The level chart has glazed columns, for windows or entry doors, and non-glazed columns, for entry doors and garage doors.
- Level A is verified cyclic pressure and large-missile performance under the Miami-Dade, Florida or ASTM protocols; Level D applies only to non-glazed entry or garage doors with verified pressure compliance.
- The structure is rated by its weakest opening, and openings needing replacement disqualify it.
Why one door can matter
Because the rating follows the weakest opening, a sliding glass door or glazed entry door without verified protection can set the level for the whole home. The form does not define when an entry door with a small lite counts as glazed, so ask the inspector how a particular door will be recorded.
