Hurricane-rated Impact-resistant Sliding glass doors and French doors are our most popular and cost-effective patio door styles that are most often used in the back and sides of a home. French Doors usually cost 10-20% more, making Sliding Glass Doors more affordable, especially when filling large openings. The right choice depends on several considerations.
A French door is made mostly of glass. Unlike traditional French doors, which often have grids holding multiple glass panes, hurricane-rated, impact-rated French doors are full glass. The grids are cosmetic and non-structural.
The classic French patio style that is most often compared to a sliding patio style features the following:
It is a misconception to assume that an Impact-rated French door means only two side-by-side, swinging panels that are opened simultaneously. Both panels are typically outswing, but only one panel functions as a primary door.
When you choose French doors from Garabar, there’s no compromising style for strength and energy efficiency. Featuring a slim frame profile, our French doors offer classic beauty that will complement the appearance of your home. Our hurricane-resistant impact-rated French doors are available in high-strength aluminum, energy-efficient vinyl, or reinforced fiberglass with composite frames. You can choose from an array of customization options to create your own unique look. You can also select from an array of glass options, hardware styles, frame colors, and more.
The French doors we install most frequently are designed specifically for High-Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ), like South Florida. And with Garabar’s hurricane impact French doors, you can fortify your home while retaining the beautiful aesthetic that you’ll love. With impact-resistant French doors from Garabar, you’re not just protecting your home and family from the unpredictable weather in South Florida, you’re also gaining 24/7 protection against intruders.
French doors are a beautiful and stylish choice; however, their size makes for a vulnerable entry point. If one glass panel is broken, your house is compromised. Our doors are heavily reinforced and feature multi-point locking systems to achieve industry-leading security. An intruder has little hope of breaking through a door that can withstand the force of a Category 5 hurricane!
Homes in South Florida are subjected to heat and humidity year-round. For many of our customers, hurricanes aren’t the only weather-related consideration. Homes with old builders’ grade windows and doors are greatly affected by ever-increasing monthly cooling costs. Our French patio doors are also extremely energy efficient when paired with Low-E glass. And just as with our hurricane windows, some of our hurricane impact French doors are even Energy Star compliant. You’ll find that your air conditioning system cycles much less to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, which not only increases its life but helps to reduce your FPL bill.
Do your doors need an upgrade? Whether you want to replace your doors with elegant French doors or install a completely new set, Garabar is here to do the job right. As hurricane door experts, Garabar takes great pride in providing our customers with superior service and unparalleled workmanship.
Sliding glass doors allow for a great view and allow a lot of natural light into your home. But if you live in South Florida and your patio doors aren’t impact-rated, they are not without weakness. We experience severe weather like tropical storms and hurricanes here, and with these storms come strong winds that can exceed 150+ mph. Old or weak aluminum door frames can easily bow under this high wind pressure. This causes the glass to pop right out of the frame! And what insurance companies know but few people realize is that the glass in builders’ grade SGDs is itself quite vulnerable. It can easily shatter from light impact from windborne debris. And if just one panel in a sliding glass door fails, the entire interior of your home is compromised.
As a homeowner in South Florida, your first priority when taking on a home improvement project should be to find products that will defend your home against the extreme weather here. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to sacrifice the look you want. When you hire Garabar, we can install hurricane-rated impact patio doors that will protect yet enhance the look of your home inside and out.
We have top-brand doors featuring different frame profiles. With all of these choices, we’re bound to have a product ideally suited for the style of your home, as well as your budget. With Garabar, you can select from numerous customization options, including frame colors and hardware options to suit your tastes. Additionally, our sliding glass doors come in a variety of configurations, ranging up to four tracks with eight glass panels, allowing you to create the indoor/outdoor lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of. We have lots of screen options too!
If you own a home in West Palm Beach, Florida, or anywhere in Palm Beach and surrounding counties, you should seriously consider upgrading to hurricane-resistant impact-rated sliding glass doors from Garabar. With the frequency of severe storms on the rise, it just makes good sense.
