***Please Note:***

The Canaveral Sands Condominium Board and Management have the responsibility to review, in advance, all hurricane shutter installations, all sliding glass door installations, and all screen enclosure installations.

Owner’s contractor must submit to the Board:

1.     Application for Installation form (last page) signed by Owner & Contractor

2.     Proof of General Liability and Workman’s Compensation insurance

3.     Current Brevard County Business License

4.     Proof that the City of Cape Canaveral has given Engineering Approval of the shutters or written approval from CS employee or Board member that the “BEIGE” (not cream) color matches the color of the building

5.     Copy of Building Permit

Owner must give the Board sufficient WRITTEN notice of intent to install Hurricane Shutters, Sliding Glass Doors or a Screen Enclosure.

At the time of your notice of intent to install, a Board member or Manager, along with Maintenance Personnel, will inspect the balcony deck and sills for deterioration or a need for concrete work. At that time, the Association’s concrete contractor will be notified of the needs assessed and will work with YOUR contractor to ensure a smooth process of work.

If balcony deterioration of any kind occurs after installation of your sliders, doors or enclosures, the Board has the obligation and the right to repair the balcony, and will do so at Association expense.  The Association will not pay for the removal or re-installation of your shutters or enclosure, and will not pay for any damage to any shutter system or enclosure caused by defect in the balcony that may occur after installation.  Canaveral Sands Condominium will not be responsible for any damage incurred to your installed items, as this is the owner’s responsibility.

The unit owner shall be solely responsible for damage caused to the building by water intrusion resulting in damage due to improper installation by you or your contractor.  Installation, repair, replacement and maintenance of shutters, sliding glass doors or enclosures, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, shall not be deemed material alteration to the common elements within the meaning of the Condominium Act, as long as the unit owner obtains written permission to install these items before the work is started.

Approved Hurricane Shutter Types

§         Automatic Rolldown Shutters

These are permanently installed, Extruded Aluminum / chromium phosphate dipped louver shutters. They are housed in a box above each window and roll down along a set of tracks on both side and lock at the bottom. If they are motorized they can be closed with the flick of a switch. For large windows and doors, reinforcing rods are usually inserted after deployment to insure shutter strength. Materials and Labor must meet Dade County Hurricane Specifications. (These are the only allowed type of WINDOW and DOOR coverings)

§         Accordion Shutters

These are also permanently installed. They often are housed in a box at the side of the building, are pulled out to deploy them, and are locked either in the middle to the other accordion panel, or on the other side of the balcony wall. Materials and Labor must meet Dade County Hurricane Specifications. (This type of shutter is only allowed on the PERIMETER of the BALCONY or patio)

Approved Sliding Glass Door Installations

 Please ensure that your contractor will coordinate with the Association in regard to any concrete work that might be needed beneath the new slider door tracks before installation.  The Association expects that if concrete work is needed below the old track, your contractor will not level with wood, but will allow the Association, at the Association’s expense, to bring in concrete contractors to perform leveling & repairs.  This action helps to prevent water intruding into the unit below.

***We need to make you aware of certain rules with regard to installing the new door tracks:***
 

1.  All sliding glass doors shall be installed in strict compliance with the Dade County Notice of Approval. All tracks, holes and fasteners shall be sealed, bedded and caulked with SIKA Flex 1a or equal.  

2.  Any repairs needed underneath your current sliding door will be repaired before the new door is installed.

3.  Please ensure your contractor is responsible for making repairs to any common areas, especially the concrete, disturbed by the installation of the doors and that these areas are re-painted with paint provided by the Association.   Please contact the Management Company if paint is needed.

4.  Lastly, there is a special coating system on the balcony deck.  Please require your contractor to use a drop cloth on the balcony deck whenever work is performed. 

INSTALLATION OF SHUTTER ASSEMBLIES, SCREEN ENCLOSURES AND SLIDING GLASS DOORS

1. Place tarp or covering over balcony floor before beginning work.
2. All debris from the job to be removed from property. On site dumpsters are NOT to be used.
3. Anchor bolt locations shall be adjusted as required to avoid reinforcing steel. Locate bars using an pachometer or similar instruments. No “HILTI” or power-actuated devices are to be used.
4. The bottom track of accordion-type shutter assemblies shall be raised 1/8” to ¼” above the concrete floor for drainage.
5. The flanges and brackets of roll-up type shutters do not require drainage shims, however, if shimming is necessary for proper fit, it shall be done with aluminum plate or non-absorbing plastic.
6. Anchor bolts shall be stainless steel expansion type. Stainless steel isolation washers are recommended to minimize galvanic corrosion. Bolt holes shall be drilled to the required depth, vacuumed out, and the holes saturated with “CorTec MCI 2020” impregnating corrosion inhibitor or Sikaflex urethane sealant. Shims and bolts shall be bedded-in with Sikaflex 1a urethane sealant. After installing the track or bracket, exposed fastener heads shall be caulked with Sikaflex 1a sealant, and the use of plastic “caps” over the screws or nylon “hat washers with sleeves” used to prevent corrosion is recommended.
7. Where shutters require re-working to allow for the raised track, such work shall be done in accordance with the shutter manufacturer recommendations.
8. Accordion shutters will require reinforcement on the side walls of the building since some of the walls are only wood. Aluminum posts are preferred, but Cape Canaveral building department specifics will apply.
9. Use Bonding Sika 1CSL for door tracks in conjunction with the screws.
10. The entire perimeter of the shutter housing must be caulked with Sikaflex caulk to avoid the intrusion of wind-driven rains.
11. The contractor must repair any damages made to the common areas, especially the concrete, and re-painting with paint provided by the Association.  Please call the Management Company if paint is needed

REMOVAL OF EXISTING SHUTTER ASSEMBLIES

1. Place tarp or covering over balcony floor before beginning work.
2. Where shutters have been previously installed, all existing fasteners shall be removed from the deck surface; the use of pneumatic hammers or other equipment that may damage the concrete deck must be closely watched.
3. Un-used holes shall be filled with a two-part epoxy compound or hard-setting urethane caulk.
4. The deck coating shall be repaired to seal all penetrations. Maintenance and Board or management agent will inspect work before, during and after the job is complete and if any damage is found, Association will have knowledgeable contractor make the repair and bill owner / contractor.
