Why Florida Needs Special Installation

Because of storms, sun, humidity, and salt in our air, sliding doors in Florida wear differently. Frames warp, seals fail, metal corrodes. That’s why we use building code-approved flashing, impact-rated products, stainless rollers, and moisture-resistant hardware. Our installations meet AAMA/WDMA/TAS standards so your door resists wind and water…even in hurricane season.

A Brief History of Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding glass doors have been around for a very long time, since Ancient Rome actually.T hese early doors were made of wood and moved on tracks carved into stone floors. Archaeologists found examples in Pompeii, and even back then, sliding doors saved space and let homes feel larger.
 
Hundreds of years later, people in Japan used shōji and fusuma, sliding panels made of wood and paper, to separate rooms and let in light. Later, builders took that idea and used glass instead of paper to make sliding glass doors that look bright and open.
 
From the 1940s through the 1960s, sliding glass doors became popular in homes and hotels in the U.S. and Europe. They became common as part of mid-century modern design. Homeowners loved how these doors opened wide to patios and let in natural sunlight.
 
Modern sliding glass door installation now uses strong materials made for safety and weather resistance. Most doors slide on rollers inside a bottom track or hang from top tracks. Some models lift slightly to seal tightly when they close. Many also include special impact-rated glass for storm protection and energy-saving coatings for heat for places like Florida.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your door is warped, leaking, or far older than 20–30 years, or has frame damage, it may be better to install a new sliding door instead of repairing. A proper inspection helps choose right.

Common options include traditional two-panel doors, three- or four-panel multi-slide doors, pocket doors, or French-style sliders. You can pick low-E glass, double pane, or impact-resistant glass for extra durability in Florida.

  • If you’re replacing your existing sliding door and frame, usually 2–4 hours.
  • If a full frame replacement or new opening is needed, we schedule up to half a day

Often, yes. Especially if you alter the frame or open up the wall. We follow AAMA/WDMA/TAS standards to stay compliant with Florida Building Code.

We use durable materials like vinyl, aluminum-clad wood, fiberglass, or impact-rated door systems. And we install stainless hardware and UV-resistant seals to resist corrosion from heat, sun, and coastal salt air.

We measure width, height, and depth of the rough opening in multiple spots to get precise dimensions. This helps prevent misaligned doors that can stick or leak, which is especially important in Florida humidity.

Yes, if you choose impact-rated doors. These doors have reinforced frames and glass to resist strong winds and flying debris. We install per Florida building code requirements for high wind zones.
