FAQs About Patio and Impact Entrance Doors
Review these common questions about patio and impact entrance doors to learn more:
What Is the Difference Between Wind-Rated and Impact-Rated Doors?
Wind-rated doors withstand extreme wind pressure, while impact-rated doors resist impact from wind-borne debris. While an impact-rated door usually also has high wind resistance, a door that is only wind-rated might not necessarily meet the impact requirements for areas prone to flying debris.
Are Impact Doors Required in Florida?
In Florida, whether impact doors are required depends on your specific location and the local building codes in effect.
If your property is in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which specifically includes Miami-Dade and Broward counties, then impact-resistant doors are generally mandatory for all exterior openings. Products installed in these zones must have a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, signifying they've undergone rigorous testing.
In other parts of Florida, particularly coastal areas or regions designated as Wind-Borne Debris Regions, you are typically required to have either impact-resistant doors or another approved form of hurricane protection, such as code-approved hurricane shutters.
Building codes are updated regularly. Consult with your local building department or a licensed contractor in Florida to confirm the exact requirements for your specific property, as regulations can vary based on your address.
Where Can I Buy Impact-Rated Entry Doors in Palm Beach County?

How Do Impact Doors Affect Energy Efficiency and Noise?
Impact doors can help reduce heat transfer, helping maintain ambient temperature and improving energy efficiency. They also dampen sound. The door's multiple glass panes act as a sound barrier and, combined with low-emissivity coatings, reflect heat in summer and retain it when it is cooler. Impact doors often also use durable frames and tight seals to enhance energy efficiency further.
