Puerto Rico’s Tropical Marine Environment Demands More
Puerto Rico’s Caribbean climate creates one of the most punishing building envelope environments in North America. High year-round humidity, intense tropical downpours, relentless UV exposure, and severe coastal salt spray constantly attack exterior cladding, roofing, and window assemblies. In San Juan, minor waterproofing oversights quickly escalate into severe structural concrete spalling, chronic moisture intrusion, or extensive mold remediation events.
JEC’s forensic background gives us deep insight into how the Caribbean climate accelerates building enclosure failure — and how to engineer resilient envelope systems designed for long-term survival.
Wind and Water: Hurricane and High-Humidity Considerations
Situated directly in the Atlantic hurricane belt, Puerto Rico demands envelope designs capable of withstanding extreme wind loads and wind-driven rain. Rigorous AAMA and ASTM field testing for curtain walls, storefronts, and window installations is crucial for verifying code compliance, meeting strict insurance requirements, and protecting high-value assets against major storm events.
