Impact doors are constructed with reinforced aluminum or steel frames, impact-rated glass, and upgraded hardware. Unlike standard doors, they’re tested for wind resistance, pressure cycling, and missile impacts to meet Florida’s hurricane zone standards—ensuring they stay sealed and operational during extreme conditions.
Beyond impact-resistant glass, these doors often include multi-point locking systems, deadbolt reinforcements, and tamper-resistant hinges. These features work together to make forced entry significantly harder, combining storm resistance with year-round home security.
Yes—impact doors include insulated cores and tightly sealed frames that reduce heat gain and air leakage. This minimizes energy loss through high-traffic entry points, which can have a bigger energy impact than windows alone.
If your impact doors meet wind mitigation criteria and are installed along with rated windows or garage doors, you may qualify for an insurance discount. Check with your insurer and submit a new wind mitigation inspection post-installation to confirm eligibility.
