The Worst Wind-Rain Combinations in the Country Happen in Florida… But There’s a Solution!

If you live in the Florida Panhandle, you know all too well that extreme weather conditions are a part of everyday life. From hurricanes to tropical storms, the Sunshine State is no stranger to high winds and heavy rains.

Not only does it meet the strict Miami-Dade Wind Driven Rain standard, but it exceeds it, withstanding winds of up to 120 mph.

What is the Miami-Dade Wind Driven Rain Standard?

In order to be certified by Miami-Dade County, products must undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet certain standards. The Wind Driven Rain standard was created to evaluate a product’s resistance to water infiltration due to wind-driven rain. To pass this test, a product must be exposed to wind speeds of 35-110 mph and constant rainfall of 8.8″ per hour for a period of 90 minutes. Rhino Shield exterior coating not only passes this test, but exceeds it, withstanding wind speeds of up to 120 mph!

Why is This Important for Florida homeowners?

While all homes are susceptible to damage from wind and rain, those in hurricane and coastal regions are at an especially high risk. That’s because when hurricane-force winds blow through an area, they can cause all kinds of debris—from tree branches to pieces of building materials—to fly through the air, damaging anything and everything in their path. And once the winds die down, the rains come…and it can keep coming for days or even weeks on end. All that water can lead to serious flooding, which can damage your home’s foundation and leave your family vulnerable to mold and mildew growth.

So if you’re looking for an exterior paint that can withstand even the worst weather conditions, Rhino Shield is the way to go! Not only does it meet the Miami-Dade Wind Driven Rain standard, but it exceeds it—providing your home with the ultimate protection against wind and rain damage.
