About 60% of Fort Lauderdale homes are in multi-unit buildings, and many single-family homes back onto canals or the New River. We install impact sliders sized for both and file the city permit.
Sliding glass doors are the largest openings in most Fort Lauderdale homes and condos, and they take the most wind in a storm. Along the Intracoastal, the New River, and the canal network, a slider often faces open water with little in the way.
Two local details shape the order. The city's flood maps include VE coastal high-hazard zones near the beach and AE, AO, and AH zones inland, which affects ground-floor sliders. And with so many homes in condo buildings, the association's rules often decide frame color and glass. We check both before your doors are built.

It can. Openings that face open water see higher wind pressure, so we spec a slider rated for your exposure.
It depends on the width, the number of panels, and the wind rating. We quote for free after measuring, with the City of Fort Lauderdale permit fee listed separately.
