PROTECTION FROM HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS, RAIN, SALT AND SUN Just as it’s important to choose the right new or replacement windows for your home or business, it’s equally important to choose the right doors. Selecting your doors’ material is your first decision, which can have a tremendous impact on the cost. Be aware that some materials, like fiberglass, may cost more than others. You’ll also want to look for energy-efficient materials to help you cut down on energy costs. While they may require a higher initial investment, high-impact hurricane doors are specially designed to withstand heavy winds, rain, moisture, salt and sun. Whether you’re worried about the damages caused by hurricane-force winds, flying debris or Florida’s year-round direct sunlight, high-impact hurricane doors offer continuous protection and peace of mind, so all you have to worry about after installation is how you’re going to enjoy all that sunshine!
