Water on the doorstep

Impact sliding glass doors in Wilton Manors, FL
On the Island City's riverfront lots, the back slider faces open water. We install impact sliders rated for that exposure and file the Wilton Manors permit online.
Many Wilton Manors homes back onto the North or South Fork of the Middle River, and the slider is the widest opening on that side. In a storm, wind comes across the water with little in the way.
The city's checklist covers sliders like any door: impact resistant unless shuttered, ASCE-7 pressures for buildings under three stories, and a completed schedule with the product approvals. Townhouses and condos need a copy of the association's approval with the submittal.

FAQ
Sliding glass doors in Wilton Manors: questions
Straight answers on permits, ratings, and timing for your city.
Call (954) 884-8224My slider faces the river. Does it need a higher rating?
Openings facing open water usually see more wind pressure. We size the slider to the design pressure for your home's exposure.
Can I keep my old slider and just add shutters?
You can, but each non-impact opening needs its own shutter permit in Wilton Manors. An impact slider removes that step.
Do you need my HOA's approval?
If your home is in an association, the city wants a copy of its approval with the permit. We request it early.
How much do impact sliders cost in Wilton Manors?
It depends on the width, the number of panels, and the wind rating. We quote for free after measuring, with the City of Wilton Manors permit fee listed separately.
