Exclusively Engineered, Locally Made.

At CDM, we don’t just meet Florida’s toughest building codes — we exceed them. Our proprietary, NOA-certified structural glass systems are designed, engineered, and fabricated entirely in-house, right here in Dade County.

While others outsource, we innovate — offering hurricane-resistant, architecturally seamless glass systems available exclusively through CDM. Come by and see for yourself: how we work, how we build, and how excellence is made.

Proprietary Design

Every CDM Impact System is the result of years of research, development, and hands-on experience in the field. Drawing on decades of industry expertise, we engineered a family of proprietary systems designed to meet the demands of today’s architecture without compromising performance. From the AC-0113 Window Wall System, capable of spanning expansive floor-to-ceiling openings, to the D-100 Swing Door System and GR Glass Railing System, each is thoughtfully designed to deliver structural integrity, refined aesthetics, and lasting durability. The result is greater design freedom for architects and developers, with the confidence that every system is built to perform under the most demanding conditions.

Certified & Proven

Our Impact Systems have undergone rigorous testing both in-house at the CDM Glass Lab and at certified external laboratories to meet and exceed industry standards. They have each earned Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA) certification, verifying their ability to withstand high-velocity hurricane impacts and extreme wind pressures. This certification is a mark of trust and credibility – a guarantee that each system complies with the strictest building codes for hurricane-prone regions. In real terms, the CDM Impact Systems offer superior water intrusion resistance, structural load capacity, and impact protection, all verified by testing and official approvals.

Performance & Benefits

By choosing the CDM Impact System, developers and owners gain a competitive advantage. The system’s advanced engineering allows for:

  • Larger Openings & Flexibility: They support expansive glass panels and custom configurations that standard off-the-shelf products cannot, enabling bold architectural designs.

  • Enhanced Safety: Built for Large Missile Impact (LMI) resistance, they protect buildings and occupants from hurricane-force debris and break-ins, providing peace of mind.

  • Energy Efficiency: Our systems can accommodate high-performance insulated glass and specialty coatings, improving thermal performance and efficiency for large glass installations.

  • Longevity: Constructed with premium aluminum alloys and corrosion-resistant hardware, each CDM Impact System is designed to endure South Florida’s harsh sun, salt, and storm conditions for decades with minimal maintenance.
