Why Impact Sliding Glass Doors Are a Non-Negotiable in West Palm Beach
Living in West Palm Beach means living with the threat of hurricanes. Your home's largest openings—your 'sliding patio glass doors'—are the most vulnerable. This is why upgrading to 'impact glass doors' isn't a luxury; it's a necessity.
What Are Impact Sliding Glass Doors?
Impact doors are a complete system. They combine heavy-duty, reinforced frames with laminated glass. The laminated glass has a strong plastic-like interlayer (PVB) sandwiched between two panes of glass. This is the same technology used in car windshields.
How Do They Protect Your Home?
During a hurricane, the biggest danger is a 'breach' of the home's envelope. If a window or door breaks, wind rushes in, creating a catastrophic pressure change that can lift the roof off. Impact glass can be shattered by flying debris, but it will not break *out*. The interlayer holds the glass in place, keeping the wind and rain outside.
More Than Just Storm Protection
Impact glass doors offer 24/7 benefits. They provide superior noise reduction, block 99% of UV rays (protecting your furniture), and are a massive deterrent to intruders, as they are incredibly difficult to break through.
