Hurricane Protection That Works
Our impact sliding glass doors are engineered to withstand Category 5 hurricane winds and flying debris. After witnessing the devastation from hurricanes Ian, Helene, Irma, and Idalia, Collier County residents know the importance of reliable protection. These doors meet and exceed Florida Building Code requirements, giving you confidence when the next storm approaches.
Energy Efficiency for Florida Living
Southwest Florida’s intense heat and humidity can drive up cooling costs dramatically. Impact glass technology features advanced insulation properties that keep your home cooler while reducing energy bills. Many Naples homeowners see immediate savings on their electric bills, especially during peak summer months.
Insurance Savings and Wind Mitigation
Installing impact doors qualifies you for wind mitigation discounts on your homeowner’s insurance. Following recent major hurricanes, insurance companies are offering significant premium reductions for homes with proper storm protection. These savings often help offset your investment over time.
Salt air, intense UV rays, and high humidity can quickly deteriorate standard doors. Our impact sliding glass doors use materials specifically chosen for coastal environments. The frames resist corrosion and the impact glass maintains clarity despite constant exposure to Florida’s challenging weather conditions.
Enhanced Security and Privacy
Beyond hurricane protection, impact doors provide year-round security benefits. The laminated glass construction makes forced entry extremely difficult, while optional privacy features give you control over your home’s visibility from outdoor spaces.

Impact Glass Technology for Coastal Protection
Storm Protection of South Florida’s Impact Glass Technology™ represents the pinnacle of hurricane protection engineering, specifically designed for the unique challenges of Southwest Florida’s coastal environment. Our advanced impact glass systems provide maximum hurricane protection while delivering year-round benefits that Naples homeowners value most.
Hurricane Protection Features
Insulated & Laminated Impact Glass Construction
Our Impact Glass Technology™ features multiple layers of specially engineered glass bonded with advanced interlayer materials. This construction allows the glass to absorb tremendous impact forces without shattering, keeping hurricane-force winds and flying debris outside where they belong. Even if the outer glass layer cracks during extreme weather, the inner layers maintain structural integrity and your home’s protective barrier.
Extreme Wind Resistance
Tested to withstand winds exceeding 200 mph, our impact glass doors meet and exceed Florida Building Code requirements for high-velocity hurricane zones. This level of protection proved crucial during recent storms like Hurricane Ian, when many Naples homes with proper impact protection avoided catastrophic damage while neighboring properties suffered significant losses.
Debris Impact Protection
Southwest Florida hurricanes generate dangerous projectiles from roof tiles, tree branches, and outdoor furniture. Our Impact Glass Technology™ is tested against large missile impacts, including 9-pound 2×4 lumber traveling at 50 feet per second—the standard for extreme hurricane conditions in Collier County.
Energy Efficiency Benefits
Advanced Thermal Performance
Naples’ intense heat and humidity create significant cooling challenges. Our Impact Glass Technology™ incorporates Low-E coatings and advanced spacer systems that dramatically reduce heat transfer. This means your air conditioning works less to maintain comfortable temperatures, resulting in lower energy bills throughout Florida’s extended cooling season.
UV Protection
Constant exposure to Florida’s intense UV rays can fade furniture, flooring, and artwork while increasing indoor temperatures. Our impact glass blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your home’s interior while reducing solar heat gain that drives up cooling costs.
Condensation Control
High humidity levels in Southwest Florida can cause condensation problems with standard glass. Our Impact Glass Technology™ features advanced edge sealing and thermal breaks that minimize condensation, protecting your home from moisture-related issues common in coastal environments.
Security and Safety Features
Year-Round Security Protection
Beyond hurricane season, our impact glass provides 24/7 security benefits. The laminated construction makes forced entry extremely difficult, giving Naple’s homeowners peace of mind whether they’re home or traveling. Many insurance companies recognize this added security with additional premium discounts.
Safety Glass Standards
All our Impact Glass Technology™ meets safety glazing requirements, ensuring that if breakage does occur, the glass remains bonded to the interlayer rather than creating dangerous shards. This feature is especially important for doors and windows near pool areas and high-traffic zones.
Sound Reduction
The multi-layer construction naturally dampens outside noise, creating a quieter indoor environment. This benefit is particularly valuable for homes near busy Naples streets, airports, or waterfront areas where boat traffic and outdoor activities can create noise concerns.
Warranty Protection. We stand behind our work with industry-leading warranties on both materials and installation. Our A+ BBB rating reflects our commitment to customer satisfaction and long-term performance.
