Feather River Doors High-Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) Doors: Style Meets Security
When it comes to protecting homes from the ferocious winds and perilous debris of hurricanes, particularly in High-Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ), the quality of your exterior doors is paramount. Feather River Doors, a name synonymous with excellence in door manufacturing, focuses exclusively on fiberglass doors, engineered to offer supreme protection without compromising on aesthetic appeal. This blog post highlights Feather River's fiberglass door offerings, including impact-rated choices and sidelites, providing a blend of safety, functionality, and style.
Understanding HVHZ CertificationHVHZ doors are specifically engineered to withstand the
extreme winds and flying debris associated with hurricanes, primarily in
regions like Florida's Miami-Dade and Broward counties, where such natural
phenomena are most frequent. The certification process for these doors is
rigorous, ensuring they meet the highest standards of durability and impact
resistance.
Feather River has refined its impact rated door line to
specialize in fiberglass doors, recognizing the material's outstanding
properties for HVHZ applications. Fiberglass doors are celebrated for their
durability, energy efficiency, and ability to replicate the warm, inviting look
of wood without the associated maintenance challenges. These doors resist
warping, rotting, and corrosion, making them an ideal choice for homes in
hurricane-prone areas.
Impact-Rated Glass: A Shield of Safety
A crucial feature of Feather River's fiberglass doors is
the option to incorporate impact-rated glass. This glass is designed to
withstand the forces of a hurricane, ensuring the integrity of the door and the
safety of the home's occupants. Impact-rated glass is a testament to Feather
River's commitment to providing doors that offer both protection and peace of
mind.
Feather River's customization options extend beyond the
main entry door. Homeowners can choose to add sidelites with glass, enhancing
the entryway's visual impact while increasing natural light inside the home.
Like the door's main glass, sidelites can also be fitted with impact-rated
glass, ensuring the entire entry system offers uniform protection against
hurricanes.
Feather River's commitment to excellence is evident in its
fiberglass door offerings for High-Velocity Hurricane Zones. Homeowners have a
variety of styles to choose from, each capable of being enhanced with
impact-rated glass for superior protection. Investing in a Feather River
fiberglass door means choosing a product that protects your home while
elevating its aesthetic and value.
