Entry doors are more than just gateways into your home. They must also keep out unwanted intruders and harsh weather. That’s why it’s essential to choose impact front doors compliant with local building codes.
In storm-plagued South Florida, your exterior door must be able to resist strong winds and rapid pressure changes as well as wind-driven debris. That’s why our impact front doors swing out—making them even more resistant to high winds and rain.
Safety
The front doors of your home or business serve several purposes. They welcome you and your family after a long day, they invite guests into your property and they protect your home from the elements during hurricane season.
In storm-prone areas like Miami, Florida, it is important that the exterior doors of your residence and business are designed to withstand the high-velocity winds, flying debris and attempted break-ins. The best way to do this is by having impact doors installed that meet local building codes and are able to withstand testing for air & water infiltration, positive & negative pressure cycling, and forced entry resistance.
SIW’s custom impact products are strong, resilient and long-lasting. They are engineered with a rigid aluminum frame, filled with impact-resistant glass and fortified by a laminated plastic inner layer. Even if the outer glass breaks from impact, it will adhere to the inner plastic and continue protecting your property. This design also makes SIW’s impact doors highly resistant to breaking and smashing from intruders, making them a great choice for your South Florida home or business.
Durability
Your entry doors are a critical component of your home. They welcome you and your family back after a long day, keep unwanted invaders out, and protect your property from harsh weather. Regardless of their role, they require regular maintenance to continue functioning effectively. If you notice drafts around your doors or have difficulty opening them, it’s time to consider updating them with secure and durable hurricane impact front doors.
The primary benefit of impact-rated front doors is enhanced safety. They help shield homeowners from flying debris and the rapid pressure changes that can occur when the door is breached. Impact doors meet local building codes and withstand the large-missile test, which hurls wood studs at the door to mimic flying debris during a hurricane.
Borano’s Therma Tru Fiber-Classic collection combines the strength of an impact door with the beauty of classic hardwood construction. This collection features compression-molded fiberglass and deep detailed panels. The doors are rot-resistant and do not warp or splinter, making them a great choice for the wet environment of South Florida.
Aesthetics
When choosing a custom door design for your Miami home, aesthetics are equally as important as security. With a variety of stylish options, you can elevate your entrance with show-stopping awe or sophisticated elegance. Whether you opt for wood or fiber, the exterior front doors you choose should embody your unique style and harmonize with your home’s architectural identity.

If you want to save money on your energy costs, consider investing in an insulated door that can prevent heat transfer and help maintain indoor temperature. It also resists moisture and rust, an important feature in Miami’s humid environment.
