CUSTOM IMPACT DOORS Design, Glass, Certification, and Long-Term Protection in South Florida
In South Florida, doors are more than a design element.
They are a critical part of a building’s safety, security, and structural integrity.
From hurricanes and wind pressure to heat, humidity, and everyday security concerns, entry doors must perform at the highest level.
Custom impact doors are engineered to meet these demands while enhancing the overall appearance and value of a home or commercial property.
At Impact Windows Win, our impact doors are designed to combine strength, certified performance, advanced glass technology, and modern design—without compromise.
WHY IMPACT DOORS MATTER IN SOUTH FLORIDA
Entry doors are one of the most exposed and vulnerable openings in any structure. During hurricanes and severe storms, doors experience extreme positive and negative wind pressure and flying debris.
If a door fails, pressure can enter the building and cause serious interior or roof damage. Impact-rated doors are designed to prevent this type of failure by remaining intact and sealed—even after impact.
Impact doors are essential for properties in Miami-Dade, Broward, and surrounding areas where building codes are strict and inspections are required.
IMPACT GLASS TECHNOLOGY
Impact glass is not standard glass. It is a laminated system made of multiple layers of glass bonded together with a high-strength interlayer.
When struck by debris, the glass may crack, but it remains bonded instead of shattering. This prevents wind, rain, and pressure from entering the property and maintains the structure’s integrity during a storm.
Beyond hurricane protection, impact glass also provides:
• Increased security against break-ins• Reduced outside noise• Improved UV protection• Better energy efficiency
DESIGN WITHOUT SACRIFICING STRENGTH
Modern impact doors offer full design flexibility while remaining code compliant. Homeowners and businesses can choose styles and finishes that match both contemporary and traditional architecture.
