Upgrading to hurricane impact windows and doors can do more for your home than just protect it from storms. It can be a chance to upgrade the design and function of your openings to improve style, take advantage of beautiful views, or open your home to outdoor living spaces. Specialty impact doors are a great way to achieve all these goals.
While we offer more traditional French Doors and Sliding Glass Doors, there are several options for more unique doors including pivot doors, folding doors, and specialty sliding glass doors like lift and slides and 90-degree corner units. Below, we explain the advantages of these products and provide some inspiration on how to use these doors to make your space more functional and unique.
Pivot Doors
Pivot Doors are becoming an increasingly popular option for those seeking a modern aesthetic. Most often used as entry doors, these doors swing on pivot hinges that are located along the top and bottom of the frame. This makes them appear like they are floating in the frame and makes them very easy to open despite the heaviness of large-sized panels.
Folding Doors
Folding Doors, sometimes called bi-fold doors or accordion doors, can be opened and folded to one or both sides to create more space within the opening. These doors are a popular choice for connecting indoor and outdoor living spaces like patios, balconies, and outdoor kitchens.
Specialty Sliding Glass Doors
Standard sliding glass doors are extremely common in South Florida, but there are some Sliding Glass Doors that are anything but ordinary. An example is the Euro-Wall multi-slide door. While it operates like a regular sliding glass door, it features very large sizes and the smallest interlock of any impact sliding door at only 1” wide. Another way to create a unique sliding glass door is to use a specialty configuration. Most of the standard sliding glass doors we offer are available in pocket configurations and postless 90-degree corner units.
These doors can be used on their own to upgrade your space, or make a perfect complement to an impact window and door package for your home.
