Impact Windows
Laminated impact glass in casement, single-hung, sliding and picture styles, with no shutters to put up.
Hurricane impact doors
Impact doors that open up your home and close out the storm
Big glass doors are some of the most exposed openings in a house. Impact doors give you the view and the access, with laminated glass and a frame built to stand up to storms and forced entry.
Protection where it counts
Large doors are a weak point in a home. Impact doors protect them without shutters.
Security you can lock in
Laminated glass and heavy-duty frames make forced entry much harder than with standard glass.
Wide-open living
Multi-slide and bi-fold systems can open an entire wall to the patio or pool.
Comfort and quiet
Low-E glass options and tight seals help with heat, UV and outside noise.
Why doors deserve the same protection as windows
Sliding and French doors often span some of the largest openings in a house. If one fails in a storm, wind and pressure can enter the home. Impact doors use laminated glass and reinforced frames so the opening stays closed.
Like impact windows, they replace the need for shutters on those openings. You can leave the view uncovered and the patio accessible all season.
- Laminated impact glass
- Frames designed to work with the glass
- Locking hardware suited to the door style
Choosing the right style
The best door depends on how you use the space. A sliding door suits a tight patio. French doors bring a traditional look. Multi-slide and bi-fold systems suit homeowners who want the wall to disappear when entertaining. Ask us at your estimate to talk through the swing space, the track or threshold, and how each option will feel in your home.
Replacing a door often means more than swapping glass. We look at the opening, the threshold and the surrounding wall during your estimate.
What to expect at your estimate
We will look at the opening, the way the door is used today and what you wish it did better. Maybe the track sticks, the threshold leaks, or you want a wider view of the yard. Bring photos or questions, and we will talk through styles, glass options and how the new door will look from inside and out. You can contact us to book a free estimate.
Codes, permits and approvals
Doors in Florida must meet the Florida Building Code. In Miami-Dade and Broward, part of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, products need approvals such as a Miami-Dade NOA. Elsewhere, products carry a Florida Product Approval. Replacement doors usually require a building permit and inspections, and condos and HOAs often require approval. We will explain the permit and inspection steps for your property, and our guide to the permit and installation process covers the basics.
Many homeowners replace impact windows and doors together so the look and the protection match. We serve Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and more.
