Whether welcoming the family home after a long day away or barring unwanted visitors from the house, secure doors are essential for homeowners. That’s why it’s important to have impact front doors Miami FL that are not only strong but also beautiful.
Our entry doors are designed to complement your home architecture and design style. They are long lasting and durable, able to withstand winds of up to 390mph and meet the strict requirements of Miami-Dade County and Florida.
Impact-Rated
Many homeowners in Florida live in a hurricane prone region, known as a high-velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ). It’s important to protect your home from the strong winds and flying debris that come with these types of storms. One way is by installing impact doors.
These doors are made from a thick fiberglass facing with wood and composite reinforcements, plus a specialized polyurethane foam core. They’re designed to withstand heavy blows, such as a 9lb 2×4 building stud hurled at the door, without breaking apart or shattering.
You don’t have to sacrifice curb appeal when you install an impact door, either. You can choose from a variety of styles, from modern doors with lever-style door handles to French doors with interesting glass panes. The result is a beautiful door that meets the strict Florida building codes while also adding security and resale value to your home.
Energy-Efficient
Whether welcoming you and your family back home after a long day or providing a safe entryway during hurricane season, your front door is one of the most important parts of your home. In addition to enhancing curb appeal, it can help keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient throughout the year.
Upgrading your front door to an impact-rated model helps protect against the high winds and flying debris associated with Florida’s frequent tropical storms and hurricanes. This is especially true for those in Broward, Miami-Dade and Coastal Palm Beach Counties, which are considered to be part of the high-velocity hurricane zone.
Choose from a variety of glass options that allow in natural light while maintaining privacy. Sidelights are available in rectangular and curved designs, while a transom adds additional glass above a door. Alternatively, select a blinds-between-glass option to let in the sun while retaining privacy when you want to close the curtains. This helps minimize air leakage and reduce energy bills.
Durable
If you live in a hurricane-prone area, your front door needs to be impact-rated. These doors are made to withstand the high winds and flying debris associated with storms and hurricanes. Plus, they’re designed to keep burglars out as well.
A strong frame is important to the overall strength of an impact door, and it’s crucial that you choose one made of a durable material. Wooden frames can rot in humid climates, but fiberglass is tougher and more resistant to the elements.
Plastpro’s Fiber-Classic entry doors feature a poly-fiber doorframe that doesn’t absorb moisture or wick, helping to prevent warping and rotting over time.
