Why entry impact doors suit Delray Beach homes
Impact entry doors combine premium fiberglass or aluminum-clad construction with laminated impact glass and multi-point locking hardware. Every entry door we install carries Florida Product Approval, with Miami-Dade NOA options for HVHZ homes. Available in dozens of glass, panel, and finish combinations to match any architectural style. An impact entry door is rated as a system — slab, frame, glass inserts, sidelights and transom together. This catches people out: replacing a rated slab into an unrated frame, or keeping decorative sidelights that carry no approval, produces an opening that will not pass inspection and will not count for opening protection on your wind mitigation form.
What Delray Beach homes were originally built with
East of Swinton the original door openings are frequently narrow single leaves and small paired units, in proportions that predate the wide patio slider entirely — which is why a french pair often suits that stock better than a slider does, both visually and dimensionally. West of I-95 the two-panel aluminium patio slider is the standard opening, repeated across subdivisions and villa communities. Downtown and near the beach, association and district rules on what a street-facing door may look like are worth checking before specifying. That history is why we quote entry impact doors against the opening in front of us rather than against a size schedule.
The impact rating covers the whole assembly
Sidelights and transoms are glazed openings in their own right. If they are not impact rated, the entry is not protected regardless of how good the door is. It is one of the most common gaps we find on houses that have already had 'impact doors' installed by somebody else. We see it regularly across Lake Ida, Tropic Isle, Seagate and the surrounding Delray Beach neighbourhoods, where the housing stock is consistent enough that the same specification question comes up again and again.
Approvals and permitting in Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so products here carry statewide Florida Product Approval rather than a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That widens the range of approved configurations available to you rather than lowering the standard — a useful thing when an HOA's approved-product list and the code have to be satisfied at the same time, which in much of this county they do. Every entry impact door we install in Delray Beach carries Florida Product Approval, and we pull the permit and manage the inspections through the local building department rather than leaving that to you.
Salt exposure in Delray Beach
From the historic downtown bungalows along Atlantic Avenue to the oceanfront estates east of Federal Highway, Delray Beach properties face direct Atlantic exposure and require impact products rated for high coastal design pressures. We pull permits with the City of Delray Beach building department and routinely install in Lake Ida, Tropic Isle, Seagate, and the barrier island corridor — homes that benefit not just from storm protection but from the dramatic interior noise reduction impact glazing provides on busy Federal Highway and A1A. West and south-facing entries take punishing UV in this climate, and finishes on a coastal elevation additionally take salt. Fibreglass and properly finished units hold up markedly better than timber here.
The sidelights are part of the opening
An impact entry door is rated as a system — slab, frame, glass inserts, sidelights and transom together. This catches people out: replacing a rated slab into an unrated frame, or keeping decorative sidelights that carry no approval, produces an opening that will not pass inspection and will not count for opening protection on your wind mitigation form. On a Delray Beach job this is settled at the measure, on site, against the actual opening — which is the only place it can honestly be settled.
Historic districts and design review
The Del-Ida Park, Marina, Old School Square and Nassau Park historic districts contain 1920s–40s stock where work affecting street-facing elevations goes through historic review before the building permit issues. That review can govern sash configuration, frame finish and muntin pattern. Openings from that era are almost never standard — many are original wood sash in structure that has moved over eighty years — so each is templated individually and schedule ordering is not an option.
