On Hollywood Beach a balcony slider faces the ocean, a sea-turtle rule, and tower-level wind. Inland it opens onto a pool deck. We install impact sliders sized and rated for both.
Sliding glass doors are the largest openings in most Hollywood homes and condos, which makes them the most exposed in a storm. On the barrier island between the ocean and the Intracoastal, beach condo sliders also take the full force of wind off the water.
Two Hollywood rules shape the order. On the Coastal Construction Control Line, sliders facing east, north, or south need sea-turtle glass. In buildings taller than 30 feet, the city wants sealed wind loads engineered for that tower. We sort out both before your doors are built.
Hollywood requires glass with at least 45% visible light transmittance on east, north, and south openings for properties on the Coastal Construction Control Line. Ocean-facing sliders on Hollywood Beach almost always fall under it.

Impact sliding glass doors depend on panel count, width, and the wind rating your building needs, so we price them after a free measurement. City of Hollywood permit fees are separate.
