What is the Benefits of Impact Doors in Miami?
Hurricanes can devastate affected areas and cause catastrophic damage. In an effort to minimize damage and ensure safety, municipalities in High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) areas have come up with stringent building codes to ensure that homes are equipped with impact-rated doors and windows.
Impact entry doors are built to withstand severe weather conditions and extreme force from flying debris or attempted break-ins. To be classified as an impact-rated door, an exterior door must pass the rigorous High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) test. Given how hurricane-prone Florida is, Miami residents are required to install front impact doors engineered to withstand the heavy winds, rain, and flying debris that occur during hurricane storms.
Fiberglass is an excellent material for entry doors and offers high energy efficiency for homes. This is particularly important for homes in Miami and South Florida due to extreme weather.
Aluminum sliding glass doors are a top choice for residential homes. They provide great insulation, offer high durability, and are corrosion resistant.
