#1 Residential Impact Door Installation in South Florida

Functions of an Impact Door

Apart from protecting a homeowner's property and family, hurricane impact doors also serve other crucial functions. These kinds of doors offer excellent soundproofing in homes and enterprises. Impact doors also insulate rooms against heat while keeping intruders out.

Types of Impact Doors

Depending on a homeowner's or businessperson's preference, we can install different types of hurricane doors. Unlimited Windows & Doors help any Floridan have the best door for protection against burglars and weather elements.

It is important to note that all hurricane doors should meet a set standard of strength and resistance. All doors must pass the missile test. Objects are projected to the doors at set velocities and must withstand the impact to pass the test.

There are two standard doors any impact door installer can recommend. Clients can choose from sliding doors or French doors for residential or commercial hurricane impact door installation.

Sliding doors help create an open home space with adequate airflow when opened or maintaining temperature when closed. They also let in a lot of light and are suitable even for office spaces. Depending on the building plans, sliding doors offer adequate protection.

On the other hand, French doors are for both aesthetics and protection. When a client wants to have something classic, we suggest the installation of French impact front doors. We can help you find a door that is safe with a pleasing design. We work with many trusted brands to give our clients a variety of designs to select from.

Impact Doors Installation Process

Impact front doors are much heavier than standard ones. The material used to manufacture the doors include fiberglass and wood. There are composite materials that add to the sturdiness of the door, such as polyurethane foam.

The doors are then held into place by heavy-duty aluminum alloys or vinyl frames. To keep the rain away, neoprene seals and silicone weatherstrips are added. However, there are many different styles in which a hurricane door can be manufactured.

Styles of Hurricane Doors

It is easy to imagine a heavy, bulky door for such protection, but the doors have many variations. Some of them include:

1. Metal Doors

Metal doors may be stainless steel or aluminum. The metal withstands hurricane winds and is an excellent choice for security purposes. It is difficult to break through a stainless steel or aluminum door. In addition, with how easy they are to install and maintain, they are becoming a favorite among clients

3. Bifold Doors

Bifold doors are best for the passageways leading up to the terrace or patio. An expert would recommend these hurricane impact doors to separate the yard and the indoor spaces to allow natural light inside. The doors come with insulated and laminated glass for premium protection against exterior elements.

The best feature about the doors is they help save energy while maintaining curb appeal. Clients don't have to sacrifice beauty for functionality with bifold doors. The client also gets enough natural light due to the double-opening doors.

5. Entryway doors

Entryway doors can be front, back, or side doors that lead an individual out of a building. Since impact front doors should protect the indoor spaces, all entry doors must have a layer of laminated glass. Florida residents need to install weatherproof doors in all entry points.

2. Fiberglass Doors

Fiberglass hurricane impact doors are also becoming a favorite for designers. The material is easy to mold and blends well with wooden frames. Its nature allows the manufacturer to create many designs for homeowners and businesspeople. 

Fiberglass doors are also easy to clean and require little upkeep. Asking for an expert’s opinion helps clients choose the best design to use for the available spaces.

4. Commercial Doors

For commercial impact door installation, we have two options. First is the commercial outswing door that opens from left to right and is installed to open on the outside of the building. The other type of anti-shock commercial door is an outswing door with a transom. It comes with a window-like addition fixed to the door.



Why Install Hurricane Impact Doors?

Shelter at Home

Weatherproofing homes and office buildings mean clients can take shelter in the comfort of their spaces. There is no need to panic with properly installed and maintained solid and weatherproof doors and windows. Some of the doors are translucent, letting an occupant watch the weather in a safe space.

Keeps Intruders Away

An impact front door that can withstand a storm is certainly capable of keeping out a burglar. The versatile doors help protect our clients when at home. The reinforced layers discourage an intruder from breaking into a house or a business enterprise.

Insulation

Not only do hurricane doors protect from harsh weather, but they also offer intense warmth retention. They insulate better than standard doors giving a space a cozy atmosphere all year-round. The fact that windows and doors are significant culprits of heat transfer makes the anti-shock entryways better. The doors reduce heat transfer and loss, thus saving on energy bills.

Sound Proofing

The weatherproof doors practically reduce unwanted noise to a whisper. Even a loud neighbor's engine in the morning can be muted with soundproof entryway doors. Furthermore, you can practice the guitar or sing loudly if the door is closed, since it keeps the noise in. These doors ensure a desired level of privacy in office conference rooms or other equally sensitive professional spaces.

Blocks UV Rays

Another benefit of the anti-shock doors is that they reduce the number of harmful UV rays that reach your home. There are types of doors that are weatherproof and can reduce the amount of UV rays that enter a house, which glass doors cannot do. UV rays are dangerous in that they can cause skin cancer or damage property prematurely.

Saves on Insurance Money

Most insurance companies view hurricane doors as a preventative measure against disaster. There are discounts on homeowners who decide to use reliable defenses against hurricanes and other harsh weather conditions.


However, any homeowner should check with the insurance provider on related policies. Most companies accept reduced liability when all entryways have resistant doors. Homeowners can explore the idea of impact door financing to reduce out-of-pocket spending.
