Hurricane Sliding Glass Doors Made for the Patio
Hurricane sliding glass doors are often the largest opening in a home, which makes them the most exposed during a storm. Our impact resistant sliding glass doors use laminated glass that holds together when struck, so the opening stays sealed even if the glass cracks. That means no shutters to put up and no plywood to store.
Aluminum impact sliding doors stand up to humidity and salt air without rotting or swelling, and the reinforced rails keep large panels moving smoothly for years. Concealed fastener covers hide the installation screws and match the frame finish for a clean look.
Impact patio doors also make daily life better. Laminated glass blocks most UV rays, cuts outside noise, and lets in natural light without the heat that comes through older single-pane sliders. A hurricane rated, well-sealed slider is also more energy efficient, which helps lower cooling costs.
Every project includes measuring, the Miami-Dade or Broward permit, and installation by our own crew. Hurricane impact sliding glass doors, like all impact patio doors, must be installed exactly as tested to keep their approval, so we handle the full process from estimate to final inspection.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors: Common Questions
Straight answers before you choose. Find more on our FAQ page and in our cost guide.
How much do hurricane impact sliding glass doors cost?
Price depends on the width and height of the opening, the number of panels, the glass package, and the installation scope. A standard 2-panel unit costs less than a wide 3-panel or custom-size door. We measure your opening and provide a written estimate, and our cost guide covers the main price factors.
How much wind can a sliding glass door withstand?
Wind resistance is measured by the door's design pressure (DP) rating rather than a single wind speed. A higher DP means the door can handle stronger positive and negative pressure. We select hurricane sliding glass doors with a DP rating that fits your home's exposure, floor height, and opening size, and the same rule applies to all impact patio doors.
How do you protect a sliding glass door during a hurricane?
With impact resistant sliding glass doors, the door itself is the protection, so you only need to close and lock it. Standard sliders need storm shutters or panels installed before every storm. Upgrading to hurricane sliding glass doors removes that prep work and protects the opening all season.
What is the best way to keep people out with a sliding glass door?
Start with impact glass sliding doors, because laminated glass is very hard to break through. Add a multi-point lock, a secondary foot lock or security bar on the track, and keep the panels properly adjusted so they cannot be lifted out. Together these make a sliding door far more secure than a standard slider.
What type of glass is best for sliding doors?
Laminated impact glass is the best choice in South Florida. It holds together on impact, blocks most UV rays, and reduces outside noise. You can choose a clear, green, bronze, or gray tint, and impact glass sliding doors keep their rating with any of these options.
What is the typical size of a sliding glass door?
Most 2-panel sliding doors are 6 or 8 feet wide and 80 or 96 inches tall, and 3-panel units often reach 9 to 12 feet wide. Impact sliding patio doors are usually built to the exact size of your opening, so we measure on site before ordering.
Which sliding glass doors are best for hurricane protection?
Look for impact resistant sliding glass doors with a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), laminated glass, and a design pressure rating that matches your home. Hurricane sliding glass doors with heavy-duty aluminum frames and reinforced rails give the best mix of strength, low maintenance, and long service life in South Florida.
