Living in Florida means preparing for hurricane season is part of life. One of the most important upgrades homeowners are making is installing impact doors. But with so many options available, how do you choose the best one for your home?
Types of Impact Doors
Impact Entry Doors
Your front door is often the most vulnerable point of entry. Impact entry doors provide both security and storm protection while enhancing curb appeal.
Impact French Doors
Perfect for patios and pool areas, impact French doors offer classic elegance with modern protection. They swing open for easy access to outdoor spaces.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
The most popular choice for Florida homes, impact sliding doors maximize views while providing hurricane protection.
Materials to Consider
- Fiberglass: Durable, low-maintenance, and excellent insulation
