Impact Glass Door Requirements

Code-Compliant Hurricane Protection

Every sliding glass door replacement in Palm Harbor must satisfy Florida building code impact resistance standards. This means laminated glass that maintains structural integrity even when struck by hurricane debris at 34 mph, followed by sustained winds exceeding 150 mph.

Beyond storm protection, impact glass delivers year-round security enhancement, potential insurance premium reductions, and substantial energy savings against Florida’s relentless heat. The laminated construction also filters harmful UV rays and significantly reduces exterior noise.

We manage all permitting and inspection coordination, eliminating municipal paperwork headaches for you. Our installations consistently pass first-time inspections because we understand exactly what Palm Harbor’s building department requires.

Impact glass, required by Palm Harbor building code, consists of two glass layers with strong plastic lamination between them. When impacted, it may crack but remains within the frame rather than shattering into dangerous pieces.Regular glass breaks into sharp fragments that fall away, leaving homes completely exposed to weather and intruders. Impact glass withstands repeated hurricane debris strikes followed by sustained 150+ mph winds while maintaining structural integrity.Beyond hurricane protection, impact glass reduces exterior noise, blocks furniture-fading UV rays, and significantly improves break-in resistance. It also provides superior insulation, crucial for managing Florida’s demanding cooling costs.
