Sliding glass doors are the most common door type in Pembroke Pines homes because the floor plan of most South Florida residences includes at least one large opening to a patio, lanai, or pool deck. Replacing a standard sliding glass door with an impact-rated unit involves more than swapping the glass. The track system, the frame, the rollers, and the locking hardware must all meet the design pressure rating for that specific opening. A multi-panel sliding system spanning eight or ten feet of wall faces substantial wind load, and the installation must be engineered to handle it.
Haven Home Remodeling Group installs impact sliding glass doors in two-panel, three-panel, and four-panel configurations depending on the opening width and the homeowner’s preference for operable versus fixed panels. The laminated glass uses the same PVB or SentryGlas Plus interlayer technology as impact windows, and the frame is anchored to the structural opening with the same corrosion-resistant fastening protocol. Haven handles the removal of the existing door, the preparation of the opening, the installation of the new unit, and the final adjustment of the rollers and locking mechanism as a single continuous scope.
