In Florida, where hurricanes are a frequent threat, homeowners are seeking impact-resistant doors that not only keep unwanted guests out and storms in, but also meet building code requirements for outward swinging front doors. SIW’s front door products provide all of that and more.
They are also visually stunning. Their Borano line of wood exterior front doors is approved in Dade County by passing both small-missile and large-missile resistance tests.

The entry doors on a home are more than just a portal to the interior, they also play a critical role in preventing storm damage and increasing security. In fact, installing a new front door delivers the highest average return on investment of any other home improvement project.

These doors also feature composite rails to prevent moisture and a polyurethane foam core that boasts up to 4x the insulating R-Value of traditional wood.
Borano
With impact-resistant certification, Borano’s mahogany doors meet stringent new codes established after Hurricane Andrew. This testing hurls wood studs at the doors to mimic flying debris such as tree limbs during storms, and a door that passes this test is able to withstand 9,000 cycles of wind loads. This makes a Borano mahogany door a good choice in Florida areas where hurricanes are a real threat.
Of course, the strength and durability of a set of Borano front doors does not come at the cost of style. Using only genuine Honduran mahogany, the company crafts doors that are both visually appealing and luxurious in appearance. These doors can be ordered in a variety of styles, including arched or elliptical entryways and straight cut doors with sidelites or intricate carvings.
The company also offers custom-made doors to match the exact specifications of any homeowner, architect or designer. The result is a set of doors that will enhance any home, whether it is an elegant mansion or a humble bungalow.
Impact-Resistant
Miami-Dade is a hurricane-prone area, and impact doors provide an added layer of protection for homes in this region. They help to keep your home safe from severe weather damage and flying debris, and they also guard against intruders.
They are made with a clear laminated impact glass separated by an inner layer of plastic. Even if the outer layer of glass breaks from an impact, it will adhere to the inner layer and continue protecting your home. This provides a significant advantage over regular doors, which often shatter during a hurricane and can cause gaps in your home’s structural integrity.
Additionally, many homeowners’ insurance companies offer discounts to homeowners who install impact doors in their homes. This is because these doors protect homes better against hurricanes, which reduce the insurer’s liability. Moreover, these doors are designed with energy efficiency in mind, and they can significantly reduce heat transfer. This means your house will stay cooler and comfortable throughout the year.
