Benefits of Hurricane-Safe Doors Series

Improved Safety

Being built to withstand hurricanes makes these doors just generally safer than others, even if you're not worried about storms. Burglars will often go for the front door to break into a home, so having a solid entryway is essential. If a hurricane can't take down your door, then someone trying to break into your home won't be able to either. Having difficulty getting through your front door is likely good enough of a deterrent to make potential intruders stay away.

Superior Insulation

Because of the way they're designed, impact-rated and hurricane-proof doors are also better insulators than typical doors. With one of these doors, you'll do better at keeping the heat out in the summer and warmth in during the winter. This helps with your personal comfort and can save you money in the long run. Having your home regulate the temperature inside on its own means you won't need to rely on your heater or air conditioner as much, so you will be using less energy.

Noise Reduction

An added benefit of the superior insulation is the reduction in noise passing through your door. Having to listen to the traffic on the street or your loud neighbors can make relaxing after a long day difficult. Installing one of these doors means you don't have to deal with all the noises of the outside world when you're trying to relax in your own home. Even if you live in a somewhat quiet area, this noise reduction can actually provide you with more privacy. Just like the noise won't be coming into your home, the noise you make won't be leaving for people outside to hear.

Protection From Harmful UV Rays

One of the lesser-known benefits of an impact-rated or hurricane-safe doors series is that it can protect you and your home from harmful UV rays. When UV rays pass through the glass into your home, they can be detrimental to your health and even your belongings. But with one of these doors, you can gladly let the sunshine into your home without worrying about the damage being done.

The Difference Between Normal and Hurricane-Safe Doors Series

1. Protects against storm debris

Ordinary doors are prone to breaking under impact, but hurricane-resistant doors feature reinforced frames and impact-resistant glass. They remain intact even against tree branches and building debris, preventing water from entering and keeping your home safe.

2. Effective hurricane protection

For residents in hurricane-prone areas like Florida, hurricane-resistant doors can withstand strong winds and heavy rain, preventing water from entering your home or garage, and providing a safe barrier for your home.

3. Improved security

Impact-resistant glass is designed to resist intruders attempting to break into your home, making it more secure than ordinary doors and providing additional protection for your home and belongings.

4. Reduced insurance costs

Some insurance companies offer discounts for homes equipped with hurricane-resistant doors and windows, helping to lower insurance premiums and increase your investment return.

5. Increased property value

Hurricane-resistant doors not only enhance security and durability but also increase your home's appeal. Homebuyers are drawn to homes with weatherproofing features, which in turn increases property value.

6. Aesthetics and Design

The hurricane-resistant doors are thick and sturdy, and feature advanced polyurethane glass on the interior. They not only provide protection but also enhance the overall aesthetic, making your home both secure and modern.

What Makes a Hurricane-Safe Doors Series Impact Resistant?

Hurricane-Safe Doors Series are designed for locations that are prone to tempestuous weather, high winds, flooding and disaster. This includes regions like Florida, Louisiana and the Carolinas, to name a few. The doors take into consideration the glass, frame and building codes. Typical glass breaks and shatters with flying debris hitting it during high wind speeds. Impact resistant glass or laminated glass has a slight bendability to it, providing continuous protection for your home.Hurricane impact doors are made from materials like vinyl and aluminum, to stand up to flying debris and hurricane pressures. The doorframe as well as the hardware and glass used in these impact doors all contribute to their hurricane impact rating.

When choosing a hurricane impact door, it is important to understand your local building codes. High Velocity Hurricane Zones such as Miami-Dade and Broward County tend to have much stricter requirements for such components as your home's entry doors and windows.

Considerations When Choosing Hurricane-Safe Doors Series

The glass
The glass used to make a hurricane-impact door is the most important element of its design. Typical glass will break or shatter if flying debris hits it strong enough whereas laminated or impact-resistant glass will not. This means that these areas of your home's envelope will remain standing for continued protection.

The frame
The glass may be one of the more important elements of a hurricane-impact door, but the framing material is quite important too. Vinyl and aluminum door frame materials are two of the toughest and more customizable options that homeowners can choose for their hurricane-impact door solutions.

The building codes
As mentioned earlier, your local building codes are another important factor to consider when choosing the best impact-resistant installations for your home. HVHZ areas (such as Miami-Dade and Broward County) tend to have very stringent requirements that each building component of your home, including windows and doors, must meet.

How to Choose Hurricane-Safe Doors Series

1. High-Performance Laminated Glass for Enhanced Protection
Choosing strong glass is a key factor in hurricane-proof doors. While regular glass is easily shattered by flying debris, laminated or impact-resistant glass maintains its structural integrity even when broken, preventing wind, rain, and debris from entering the home. The polymer layer between the laminated glass effectively holds broken glass in place, providing added protection for your home. Our hurricane-proof doors are made with high-quality impact-resistant glass, giving you peace of mind in the face of extreme weather.

2. Durable Door Frames for Long-Term Security
The strength of the door frame is also crucial. Our hurricane-proof doors feature a multi-chamber insulation design that effectively reduces heat transfer while enhancing durability and stability. To ensure optimal performance, each door is pre-set with precise mounting holes, streamlining the installation process and ensuring accurate, safe, and reliable installation.

3. Compliance with Strict Building Codes
When choosing a hurricane-proof door, consult local building codes to ensure that it is suitable for your area's climate. Our hurricane-proof doors undergo rigorous testing and meet the standards of Florida's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) and the Texas Department of Insurance, providing reliable coverage for areas with high wind speeds.

4. A variety of styles and materials, balancing aesthetics and functionality.

Installing an impact-resistant patio door doesn't mean sacrificing aesthetics. We offer sliding, hinged, and multi-track configurations to flexibly match various architectural styles. All door styles and materials undergo rigorous airtightness, watertightness, and structural performance testing to ensure safety and reliability in extreme weather conditions.

How to Maintain Hurricane-Safe Doors Series

1. Check the seals regularly. Keeping your door and window seals in good condition ensures they remain watertight and draft-proof during storms. High temperatures or prolonged use can cause seals to deteriorate, so regular inspection and replacement will ensure your home or business remains reliably protected.

2. Keep doors and windows closed and locked. During a hurricane, keep all windows and doors closed and locked. This ensures the seals remain in place and prevents wind pressure from damaging the interior structure.

3. Clear potential flying debris. Move outdoor furniture, trim trees, and clear yard debris to minimize the amount of material that can be blown in during a storm and reduce the risk of damage to windows and doors.

4. Protect glass with hurricane film. Hurricane film is a clear plastic covering that reduces the risk of dangerous shattered glass when it breaks while blocking strong winds. It's safer and more practical than tape.

5. Optional protective measures:

Storm shutters: Permanently installed, they can be quickly covered over windows and doors before a storm for added protection.
Plywood coverings: Cost-effective, but require manual installation and reduce light levels.

FAQ

Q: What type of door is hurricane proof?

A: Steel and wrought iron doors can withstand the beating of a hurricane on their own as long as the metal is thick enough. However, when those doors have glass in them, which most do, that glass needs to be treated to become impact-resistant.

Q: What doors are best for Florida weather?

A: Impact doors offer homeowners many advantages and are extremely useful when paired with impact windows. These products are designed to protect your home from the effects of extreme weather. Impact doors offer several additional benefits to South Florida homeowners.

Q: How do you tell if a door is hurricane rated?

A: In some cases there will be a sticker with the same safety information. All Florida hurricane impact-rated windows and doors have a Florida Approval Number. Depending on the manufacturer, they may also explicitly designate the window as being impact-resistant.

Q: What is the best material for hurricane impact doors?

A: Fiberglass is the most popular option for swing doors, while aluminum is popular for swing doors and is the material Pivot doors are available in. Wood is an elegant choice and will require much more maintenance than fiberglass and aluminum. Wood is also only available for homes with the appropriate size overhang.

Q: What makes an exterior door hurricane proof?

A: The doors are made of fiberglass skins with a polyurethane core that make them incredibly strong against the elements. Impact-resistant doors also have reinforced hinges and frames that normal doors don't.Florida has one of the most stringent building codes in the United States, as all exterior doors must open outward if you live in South Florida. Outward opening doors provide you with an added layer of protection, as an inward swinging door only has a latch and a deadbolt to prevent it from blowing into your home.

Q: What makes a door a hurricane door?

A: In order to withstand high winds and debris, hurricane doors are installed with a reinforced frame, making them extremely difficult to knock down. Any glass panels in the door are durable and almost impossible to break. Anyone trying to break into a hurricane impact door will no doubt give up and find an easier target.

Q: Why do homes in Florida have doors open outward?

A: Doors which open outwards help to reduce the amount of water and snow entering the property, minimising any damage. A large majority of homes in Florida in America have outward opening doors, especially those built after 1992.

Q: When should you not use a storm door?

A: Warmer climates don't need storm doors to protect the door from winter weather, but the screen would allow air to circulate during nice weather. According to the Department of Energy, if your exterior door receives more than a few hours of direct sun each day you should probably skip the storm door.

Q: How do you cover windows and doors for a hurricane?

A: Storm shutters are a viable and effective option in protecting your windows and doors from hurricane force damage. They are permanently attached to your structure and simply need to be pulled down into place before an approaching storm makes landfall.

Q: How do you prepare windows and doors for a hurricane?

A: Make sure exterior doors are hurricane proof and have at least three hinges and a dead bolt lock that is at least one inch long. Sliding glass doors should be made of tempered glass and, during a storm, covered with shutters or plywood. These types of doors are more vulnerable to wind damage than most other doors.

Q: How do you tell if a door is impact rated in Florida?

A: Look for the Florida Product Approval number (FL #) on the product. Although not required in some areas, installing impact resistant windows and doors that have Florida Product Approval is one way to ensure quality and protection against hurricane-force winds, flying debris and rain.

Q: How do you reinforce a hurricane front door?

A: Adding Deadbolts: A deadbolt on the top and bottom of the door will help secure it in place and resist strong winds. Bracing Systems: Temporary bracing systems can be installed on your doors to reinforce them during hurricanes.

Q: What is the 25 window rule in Florida?

A: If more than 25% of the windows and/or doors in a pre-Florida Building Code home are being replaced and the windows/doors are NOT impact glass, the windows/doors are required to have opening protection (such as shutters).

Q: Should I get a storm door or a security door?

A: In fact, this is the best way to go for enhanced protection against both intruders and the elements. The storm door will provide weather resistance and added energy efficiency, while the security door will offer maximum protection against break-ins.

Q: Are storm doors worth it?

A: A storm door may save you money on your energy bill by acting as another layer of insulation for your front door area. After you install a storm door, air will collect between it and your entry door, slowing or stopping air from leaking out.

Q: What is the life expectancy of a storm door?

A: Storm doors typically last up to 30 years, while screen doors last up to 25 years. However, screen doors will likely see more wear and tear and can deteriorate well before their expected lifespan.

Q: Should I install storm door myself?

A: If you have a hacksaw, screw gun, a short level and a pair of side cutters and two to three hours, you're on your way to saving the cost of a professional storm door installation. Replacing an old storm door or installing a new one is a perfect Saturday morning project, even if you have limited carpentry skills.

Q: Can you add a storm door to an existing door?

A: Storm doors are designed to be installed over an existing door, and they usually have a glass panel that can be opened to let in light or ventilation. The measurements that are most important for storm doors are the width of the glass panel and the height of the door.

Q: Is hurricane glass better than shutters?

A: With impact hurricane windows you are not only protected against hurricane debris but they also force entry tested against burglary. With impact hurricane windows you can enjoy peace and quiet with up to 70% sound reduction. Shutters do not reduce sound.One of the most common and traditional methods of preventing hurricane damage is by using plywood sheets to board up windows and doors. There are good reasons behind this: For starters, plywood sheets are incredibly cheap, but they also offer pretty good protection during high-speed winds.

Q: Are sliding doors hurricane proof? Can Patio Doors Resist Impacts?

A: Fortunately, advanced technology has made it possible for homeowners to enjoy the peace of mind of knowing their sliding patio doors are hurricane resistant. Like windows, patio doors can be manufactured with impact-resistant laminated glass and reinforced frames.
