ENERGY STAR qualified, windows, doors, and skylights: Though ENERGY STAR does not require any specific technologies, certain product features are common in many certified products. Windows, doors and skylights protect you from the elements just like a winter coat. But like a winter coat, you should pick the windows, doors and skylights that make the most sense for your climate. While some windows, doors and skylights are better at keeping you warm, others excel at keeping you cool. Performance criteria for windows and skylights are based on ratings certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), and vary for each of the climate zones shown in the map above. To find the climate in which you are located, search here. Doors are a little different. Many doors don't have any glass (like your front door), but even doors with lots of glass (like a sliding patio door) have lower glass-to-frame ratios than windows or skylights. This means doors can provide more insulation than a window or skylight can.

Performance criteria for doors are based on the amount of glass they have (called glazing level) and ratings certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). Many ENERGY STAR certified windows, doors and skylights have some or all of the product features detailed below. But these features are not required. Learn more about what makes it ENERGY STAR. ENERGY STAR certified windows come in a variety of framing materials.

Florida product approvals are issued by the Florida Building Commission, do I need a NOA (Notice of Acceptance) issued by Miami-Dade County?No.

Both documents are valid methods of demonstrating compliance to the same building code. Florida law provides manufacturers alternative means of demonstrating compliance so long as the products are tested or evaluated to the applicable standards. Click here to go to the Florida Product Approval Database.2. What is the DP (design pressure) rating on your door panels?Doors, by themselves, cannot be design pressure rated. Only complete assembled and framed door units or door systems are rated.3. I've been told that my door must withstand 120 mph winds. Do your doors qualify?There is no test for doors or windows specific to wind speed. All industry test standards establish design pressure ratings. The design pressure required for a specific installation depends on several factors (not just basic wind speed) and should be determined by an architect or engineer of record. View our Coastal Door Collection brochure for specifics.4. The fire labels were removed from my door, can you send me new ones?

Masonite is only authorized by the fire rating agency to apply fire labels at our manufacturing locations. Intertek (Warnock Hersey) can be contracted, at a fee, to conduct a field inspection and label a door that is installed. 5. Are your doors rated for smoke and draft control?Smoke and draft control is a function of the gaskets that are applied to a door unit upon installation in a home. Any positive pressure rated door is eligible to become a smoke and draft control door when Category H, Smoke and Draft Control gaskets are applied.6. Is my door eligible for the US Federal Tax Credit?To qualify for the US Federal Tax Credit, a building envelope component (door or window) must meet or exceed the criteria established by the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) for the climate zone in which the product is installed. Many Masonite assembled door units may qualify in your zone. Click here for performance values of Masonite products and IECC prescriptive requirements.7. What is the R-value for your doors?
