Impact Doors
Large glass openings are a defining feature of Southwest Florida homes. They connect indoor spaces to pools, lanais, patios and outdoor views, but they also need the right level of storm protection.

Educational Overview
Impact sliding glass doors are reinforced door systems designed to provide permanent hurricane protection across large exterior openings.
They allow homeowners to maintain natural light and outdoor views without installing separate storm protection over the door each season.
For builders, they provide a way to incorporate large glass openings into the architecture while meeting the protection requirements of the project.

Local Expertise
In Naples, large-format sliders are often part of custom homes designed around pool areas, golf-course views or waterfront environments.
In Fort Myers, impact sliders are equally valuable when replacing older patio doors as part of a broader hurricane-protection or renovation project.
The right system depends on opening width, panel configuration, frame material and the architectural goals of the property.
