Positive and negative pressures matter
Wind can push toward the building and pull away from it. Approved product tables list both directions, and the eligible rating can change with size and configuration.
The same model can have different limits
Width, height, glass makeup, mullions, reinforcement, frame, anchors, and substrate can change the documented pressure capacity.
Do not guess from a ZIP code
A project ZIP helps route the review, but it does not replace the calculations and criteria prepared for the specific building and opening.
Send the criteria with the schedule
For efficient quoting, provide opening IDs, rough dimensions, required positive and negative pressures, impact zone, frame/substrate, operation, finish, and glass requirements.
Turn the guide into a real opening schedule.
Keep every dimension, option, pressure, document, and delivery note connected to the same opening ID.

We can organize the required inputs and quote against supplied criteria. A qualified design professional should establish project-specific pressures when calculations are required.
