ODL products demonstrate high degrees of structural integrity when tested to industry standards for air tightness, water tightness, wind resistance, and forced entry resistance. ODL doorglass products have been tested to standards such as TAS 201, 202, and 203, ASTM E330, E1886, and E1996.

ODL doorglass in TriSYS®, Evolve®, VentLite, standard, and many other frames were tested at an independent third party test agency to the specifications listed above and were rated very highly.

ODL is certified to NAMI's Quality Assurance Program and ODL Doorglass Units are listed in NAMI's Structural Program.

NAMI's Quality Assurance Program is accredited by International Accreditation Services (IAS). Inspections are performed in accordance with ISO/IEC 17020 Guidelines. Products tested and certified to applicable standards listed within NAMI Structural Programs are eligible for this program.

Design Pressure (DP) testing measures the performance of fenestration products to withstand positive and negative pressures. To provide design pressure performance specifically attributed to doorglass, ODL doorglass frame, and IG combinations were tested in fixed door slabs to isolate and focus all the design pressure against the doorglass assembly. Doorglass design pressure performance is typically superior to door system design pressure performance.

The 2023 Florida Building Code (FBC) has wind zone specific performance requirements for design pressure. Other states continue to adopt DP requirements.

Design pressure requirements can vary based on product location on the building, height of the building, density of buildings, and wind zone designation. The positive DP number is the standard for wind blowing at the building (windward) and the negative DP number represents the vacuum pressure on the opposite side of the building (leeward).

The Wind-borne Debris Region map for risk category II buildings (includes residential dwellings) is shown. 

The Wind-borne Debris Region authorities accept the TAS tests as well as ASTM E 1996. The Wind-borne Debris Region requires large missile impact protection for all doors and windows below 30 feet above grade. The criteria are less stringent for doors and windows 30 feet above grade and higher: small missile protection is required.

All ODL doorglass products (decorative doorglass, clear doorglass, Blinds + Glass) with FiberMate®, FiberPro®, HP, and Impact-Rated frames are certified to meet 2023 Florida Building Code (FBC) DP requirements in 1- and 2-story buildings. 

Transoms have a +100/-110 rating for wood sills and +100/-130 rating for composite trims for a rectangular shape; for curved shapes, the rating is ±90, and for square shapes, the rating is +80/-130. Visit the Florida Building Commission Product Approval website for ODL's FBC Product Approval FL4554-R5 for further details.

ODL Impact-Rated doorglass has a Florida Building Commission (FBC) component approval, FL14935-R4, that allows it to be substituted in any glazed door or sidelight with an approved missile impact FBC approval or Miami-Dade County NOA. Typically no additional testing will be required. Both the original approval and the component approval need to be provided to the building inspector for approval. Impact-Rated doorglass cannot be used with an approved opaque door impact product to create an approved glazed door.

Visit the Florida Building Commission Product Approval website for ODL's FBC Product Approval  FL14935-R4 for specific model numbers and associated DP ratings for our impact units.

Non-impact doorglass, depending on door slab and configuration, has DP ratings from ±45 to ±80. Specific DP ratings are included in ODL's Florida Product Approvals for non-impact doorglass products, found in product installation instructions. Non-Impact products must be covered during storms in the WBD and HVHZ area.

All sizes and styles of ODL doorglass have Florida Statewide Approval through the Florida Building Commission (FBC). ODL doorglass has FBC Product Approval which allows substitution in any glazed door or sidelight.

No additional testing is typically required. Both the original approval and the component approval will need to be provided to the building inspector. For more information on FBC component approval, please visit Florida Department of Community Affairs.

ODL doorglass has the following non-impact approval per the Florida Building Commission:

• FL15260 and FL 20335 — All ODL doorglass (decorative doorglass, clear doorglass, Blinds + Glass) in various frame styles of FiberMate®, FiberPro®, or HP resins
• FL14440 — Vent door light with screen assembly
• FL4554 —Transoms
