Storm Impact Door Services

Impact doors (also called storm doors or hurricane-resistant doors) are specially engineered to resist high winds and flying debris encountered during hurricanes and extreme storms. Their key features include:

• Laminated impact-resistant glass: Composed of multiple glass layers bonded with interlayers like PVB or EVA to prevent shattering. 
• Reinforced construction: Frames made of heavy-duty aluminum, fiberglass, or steel, plus high-performance seals to resist water and wind infiltration. 
• High-velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ) certification: In regions like coastal South Florida, passing tests per Miami-Dade County standards (e.g., TAS, DP ratings) is mandatory.

1. Superior Hurricane Protection: Built to withstand hurricane-force winds, impact doors dramatically reduce the risk of structural damage caused by wind pressure or airborne debris. 
2. Enhanced Security: Their tough laminated glass and sturdy frames deter break-ins far better than standard doors. A strong visual and physical barrier discourages intruders.
3. Noise Reduction: The dense, multi-layered design and tight seals help block external noise—improving indoor comfort. 
4. UV Protection & Interior Preservation: Many impact doors filter up to 99% of UV rays, protecting furniture, flooring, and décor from fading. 
5. Energy Efficiency: Well-sealed and insulated, impact doors help regulate indoor temperatures, easing HVAC demand and costs.
6. Increased Property Value: Adding hurricane-grade protection is attractive to buyers and may raise resale value. 
7. Insurance Savings & Grants: Installing impact doors may qualify homeowners for insurance discounts through wind mitigation credits. 
8. Fire Resistance (Additional Security Perks): Some impact doors include fire-resistant materials and smoke-sealing features, offering critical extra time during emergencies. 

While not universally mandated statewide, certain high-risk zones—especially in Miami-Dade, Broward, and coastal Palm Beach counties (HVHZ)—must comply with strict code requirements, including impact doors.
