Impact doors and garage doors in Punta Gorda, FL
Doors are often the weakest openings in a home during a hurricane. Impact-rated doors and a wind-rated garage door close those gaps.
Why doors matter
Large openings like sliding glass doors and garage doors take enormous wind pressure. If one fails, wind can rush inside and put stress on the roof and walls. Protecting doors is one of the most important parts of storm-proofing a home.
Door options
- Impact entry doors: with or without decorative glass
- Impact sliding glass doors: popular for lanais and pool areas
- French doors with impact glass
- Wind-rated garage doors built and braced for high winds
Garage doors
Older garage doors are a common weak point. A wind-rated replacement or a garage door bracing system can greatly improve how your home handles a storm. Ask about options that meet current Florida code for your area.
Insurance
Protected doors are part of the opening protection documented in a wind mitigation inspection, which can affect your windstorm insurance premium. Ask your agent how upgrades might help.
Impact doors & garage doors questions
Is my garage door hurricane-rated?
Older doors often aren't. Look for a label on the door or ask an installer to check.
Can I just shutter my sliding doors instead?
Yes. Accordion or roll-down shutters are common for sliders. Impact doors are the option with nothing to close.
