Why Impact Doors Matter for Hurricane Protection
Your doors are critical entry points that must withstand hurricane forces just like your windows. In fact, doors — especially garage doors and large sliding glass doors — represent the largest openings in your home and are often the first to fail during a hurricane. When a door fails, wind enters the structure and creates dangerous internal pressure that can lift the roof or collapse walls. Impact doors use the same laminated glass technology as impact windows, combined with reinforced frames, multi-point locking systems, and heavy-duty hinges engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds. Beyond storm protection, impact doors improve home security (laminated glass resists break-in attempts), reduce outside noise, block 99% of UV rays, and significantly increase your home's resale value in the Florida market.
Our Installation Process
Free In-Home Consultation
We measure your door openings precisely, assess the existing frame and threshold condition, evaluate structural requirements, and discuss your style preferences. For sliding glass doors, we also assess track condition and floor levelness. Detailed quote provided within 24 hours.
Custom Manufacturing
Impact doors are manufactured to your exact specifications including size, style, color, glass type, and hardware selection. Entry doors offer decorative glass options and custom finishes. Sliding glass doors can be configured with built-in blinds or tinted glass. Lead times are typically 3-8 weeks.
Permit & Structural Assessment
We pull all required Brevard County building permits. For larger doors like sliding glass or bifold systems, we verify that the header and surrounding structure can support the new door's weight and wind load requirements. Any necessary structural reinforcement is identified before installation day.
Professional Installation
Our team removes the old door and frame, prepares the opening with proper waterproofing and flashing, installs the new impact door with precision leveling and alignment, and completes all interior and exterior trim work. Sliding glass door installations typically take a full day; entry doors are completed in 3-4 hours.
Final Inspection & Warranty
We schedule and attend the Brevard County building inspection, provide all documentation for insurance discounts, and walk you through the operation and maintenance of your new door. You receive manufacturer warranty documents plus our 10-year installation warranty.

Read Maintenance GuideFrequently Asked Questions
What types of impact windows do you offer?
We offer a complete range of impact-resistant windows including Single Hung, Double Hung, Horizontal Sliding, Casement, Awning, Picture Windows, and Custom shapes. All our windows meet Florida Building Code requirements and are Miami-Dade NOA approved.
What is the difference between hurricane windows and impact windows?
Hurricane windows and impact windows are the same thing - both terms refer to windows with laminated glass designed to withstand flying debris during storms. The laminated glass has a tough plastic interlayer that holds the glass together even when cracked. All our windows are Miami-Dade certified, meeting the strictest hurricane protection standards in the United States.
What does Miami-Dade certification mean for impact windows?
Miami-Dade certification is the gold standard for hurricane protection products in the USA. Windows with this certification have passed rigorous testing including large missile impact tests (a 9-pound 2x4 fired at 50 feet per second) and cyclic pressure tests simulating Category 5 hurricane conditions. All Premium Impact windows carry Miami-Dade approval, ensuring maximum protection for your Brevard County home.
What is the most popular impact door for Melbourne homes?
Sliding glass doors are by far the most popular impact door replacement in Melbourne and Brevard County. Most Florida homes have at least one sliding glass door leading to a patio or pool area, and upgrading to an impact-rated version provides critical hurricane protection for your home's largest glass opening.
Can I get a custom color for my impact entry door?
Yes. Both PGT and CGI offer extensive color options for entry doors including wood-grain finishes, custom paint colors, and decorative glass inserts. During your consultation, we bring color samples so you can see how different options look with your home's exterior.
Do impact sliding glass doors operate as smoothly as regular ones?
Modern impact sliding glass doors use precision roller systems that operate very smoothly despite the heavier laminated glass. Many homeowners tell us their new impact sliding doors actually operate better than their old standard doors because of the upgraded hardware and track systems.
Is my garage door really that important for hurricane protection?
Yes — your garage door is your home's most critical hurricane vulnerability. It's the largest opening, and if it fails, wind entering the garage creates internal pressure that can blow off your roof. Florida Building Code requires wind-rated garage doors in hurricane zones for this reason.
