Impact resistant sliding glass doors from AOA Construction offer hurricane protection, smooth operation, increased energy efficiency, and noise reduction. Our contemporary sliding glass doors provide the maximum glass area allowing more natural light to enter your home while the low-e glass significantly reduces heat transfer.
Replacing the sliding glass doors in your home is a major undertaking, but one that will continue to pay dividends over the years. AOA Construction will first help you choose the perfect sliders for your home (and your budget) and then our experienced crew will masterfully install your new doors.
Sliding glass doors comprise a large surface area of your house, which is great for taking in the view and allowing light into your home. However, during a hurricane that large surface area becomes a liability; impact resistant sliding glass doors provide a level of protection that is simply unobtainable with traditional sliders. Storm resistant glass makes them nearly impossible to break which guards your family against high winds and flying debris during severe weather events.
Because sliding glass doors are so large, they allow a lot of heat to enter a home. With low-e insulated glass you will notice a dramatic decrease in how much the sun heats your home throughout the day. This equates to lower energy bills because your air conditioner doesn't have to work as hard to keep your home cool. As an added benefit, the insulated glass also filters up to 99% of UV rays which will prolong the life of your furniture and flooring. Throughout our years of installing windows, we've seen our fair share of furniture and art that had prematurely faded!
Most of our clients don't realize how loud their neighbors are until they no longer hear them after we install impact resistant windows and doors into their home. Since sliding glass doors cover the most surface area, they present the best opportunity for noise reduction. Staying safe during a hurricane is certainly the best reason to upgrade your home with impact resistant hardware, but not having to hear every move your neighbors make is a bonus that all of our clients enjoy.
From impact resistant glass to reinforced locks, our modern sliding glass doors offer a high level of protection from intruders. If your current slider seems like it's about to fall of the track, imagine how easily it could be removed by someone that's trying to get into your home. By installing heavy duty sliding glass doors, you're eliminating one of the weakest links in the security of your home. And despite their impenetrable nature, our sliding glass doors are very easy to open and close because of high quality, industrial grade rollers.
Sliding glass doors are simultaneously protective barriers and part of your home's decor. They let in light, show the decoration inside your home, and compliment the overall ambiance inside and out. If you have impact-resistant sliding glass doors, you get even more out of your home. The impact-resistant glass will not only help your home look and feel more open, but it also serves as a protective barrier for your family.
In short, impact-resistant doors do far more for your home than most other parts of your home and even your appliances.
Florida has extreme weather. We experience hurricanes and smaller storms that make national and international news. One big danger of these storms is they pick up debris and objects and send them flying through the air. When non-reinforced glass is hit by these objects it may shatter and glass shards could be shot into the interior of your home.
Even more common than storms, unfortunately, is the fact that breaking a window or a sliding glass door is a common way for burglars to enter homes. Impact resistant sliding glass doors make this very method of entry difficult for thieves.
Additionally, impact-resistant sliding glass doors also make your home more energy efficient. The thick glass, combined with our precision installation techniques, keeps the cold inside and the heat outside. Your heating and air conditioning system isn't overly-taxed by constantly turning on to change the temperature.
Besides all of these benefits there is also the beauty of our sliding glass doors. They can be designed to flow right into your current decorating scheme.
The glass in impact resistant doors is made by bonding a layer of transparent PVB between two pieces of glass. PVB stands for polyvinyl butyral. This tough material makes the glass shatterproof. It takes a lot of force to break the glass in an impact-resistant sliding glass door, but some of our Florida storms are powerful and it is possible for your windows to be hit with debris. While they may break, the glass won't shatter and fly around your home. The glass is much stronger and safer than the normal glass put inside sliding doors.
