Front entry doors are one of the most noticeable parts of your home. They help welcome your family and guests and keep unwanted invaders out. They also must hold up to hurricane-force winds and daily South Florida summer rain.
FWDS offers many beautiful, affordable fiberglass impact doors that are hurricane-rated to keep you and your family safe during storms. They also improve the energy efficiency of your home and are extremely durable.
Impact-Resistant
If you live in Florida, especially Miami, your home’s entry doors face the threat of hurricanes and other storms that can wreak havoc. To keep your home safe, you need an impact-resistant door that meets local building codes. Luckily, you don’t have to sacrifice visual appeal for safety because impact doors are available in various styles and designs.
Unlike traditional front doors, impact-rated front doors are created with thick fiberglass facings and wood or composite reinforcements. They also have a specialized polyurethane foam core that gives them more strength. They are then fortified with a strong laminate layer to protect your home against high-velocity winds, flying debris, and forced entry attempts.
They pass a rigorous testing process that goes beyond the standard building code, including cyclical, air infiltration, large missile, and water infiltration tests. You can imagine how tough they are by imagining hurling 9lb 2×4 building studs at the door. It won’t budge! These are the perfect doors for Miami residents who want to be prepared for hurricanes.
Energy-Efficient
In South Florida, sweltering summer temperatures can cause skyrocketing energy bills for homeowners. The best way to fight back against astronomical electric bills is by upgrading to impact doors that are highly insulated and have thermal barriers, keeping your home at the perfect temperature all year round.
Unlike traditional front door frames that are prone to rotting after a few years in our tropical environment, our replacement entry doors have an internal foam core that prevents the transfer of heat from outside to your home. This way, you can enjoy your new front doors in Miami FL for a long time and save money on your energy bills at the same time.
With an expansive array of customizable options, you can find the perfect entry doors that reflect the distinctive architectural style that defines your abode and complements the aesthetic sensibilities of your interior décor. You can also boost your home’s market value with this exterior upgrade that is both strong and elegant.
Durable
Especially in storm-prone areas like South Florida, you need doors that keep out strong winds and flying debris. That’s why impact doors are a smart investment for Miami Beach homeowners. They’re designed to resist hurricane force winds, rapid pressure changes, and wind-driven missiles. And their frames are made from a durable material that can withstand Florida’s humidity.
Wrought iron doors are another way to add a unique look to your home’s entryway. They’re beautiful and sturdy, making them an effective deterrent against burglars. Plus, they can be painted your color of choice to match the overall aesthetic of your house.
If you’re looking for an impact door that combines the strength of fiberglass with the classic look of hardwood construction, consider the Therma Tru Fiber-Classic collection. Its high-performance fiberglass exterior doesn’t rot, split, or warp, and its wood composite frame won’t rot or absorb moisture. Moreover, it has a full-frame insulation that prevents energy loss and saves you money on your utility bills.
Beautiful
Your front door is the first thing your guests see, and it can make a lasting impression. Whether you’re looking for show-stopping awe or sophisticated elegance, we have many beautiful options to fit your style and budget.
Wood exterior doors are a classic choice for Miami FL homes. Mahogany and teak are both stunning materials that complement the local climate, and they can be stained or painted to match your home’s décor. They’re also easy to maintain and sand down, making them an excellent choice for homeowners who want their doors to stand up to the elements.
Fiberglass entry doors are another stylish option. They’re available in a variety of panel and glass designs, and they’ll never dent or rust like steel. You can even add sidelights or a transom to create a dramatic effect. FWDS offers the best selection of high-quality fiberglass entry doors in Miami.
