Product Overview - Entry Doors

Entry doors for Greenacres homes need to do three jobs at once: stand up to hurricane season, hold their finish under relentless Florida sun, and look like they belong on a welcoming front porch. The Therma-Tru lines we install manage all three because they’re built around the frame first. Fiberglass and steel profiles give you the structural backbone that impact-rated hardware and laminated glass require, while the exterior face can be factory-finished in a color that holds up, or left as a paint-grade woodgrain surface if you’d rather match a custom palette.

Where these doors earn their keep is the combination of curb appeal and compliance. A steel entry system with a decorative glass insert doesn’t read as a “storm product” from the street. It reads as a well-designed front door. But behind the finish, the engineering is all about load paths, anchoring, and keeping the panel stable when wind pressure shifts direction mid-storm. We sell these as complete systems, not slabs on a truck. Frame, panel, hardware prep, sill, and weather seals arrive as one coordinated package, which matters when your Greenacres building department asks for product approval documentation at permit time.

Technical Specifications

Every entry door we quote in Greenacres is configured to match the opening and the wind zone it sits in. Here’s what’s on the table across the Therma-Tru impact series:

• Frame materials: Fiberglass and steel, both engineered for impact-rated hardware mounting and long-term exposure to South Florida humidity
• Maximum size: Up to 48 inches wide, which covers the vast majority of single-panel Greenacres entries
• Glass options: Decorative impact glass insert, Low-E insulated glass insert, or solid panel with no glass
• Color and finish options: White, black, bronze, and paintable woodgrain finish that accepts a custom paint color without primer failure
• Compliance documentation: Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers available per configuration, matched to your specific door setup, and verified on your quote before you sign

Hurricane & Compliance Performance

Laminated Impact Glass - When your entry door carries a decorative or full glass insert, the glass is laminated with a PVB (polyvinyl butyral) interlayer. If debris strikes the surface, the glass may crack, but the interlayer holds the shards in the frame and keeps the building envelope sealed against wind and water.

Miami-Dade NOA / Florida Product Approval - Each door configuration has a Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval number tied to its specific size, glass package, and hardware set. We’ll pull the right numbers for your exact door and include them with your quote so your permit submittal isn’t a guessing game.

FBC / HVHZ Compliance - These entry doors are engineered to Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That’s the standard Greenacres falls under, and it’s stricter than the inland wind provisions used elsewhere in the state.

TAS 201 / 202 / 203 Testing Context - Impact-rated products in Florida are tested under the TAS protocol family: TAS 201 for large-missile impact, TAS 202 for cyclic wind-pressure loading, and TAS 203 for forced-entry resistance. The Therma-Tru configurations we install carry this testing pedigree through the NOA process.

Design Pressure for Your Wind Zone - Design pressures are matched to your specific wind zone, up to +/-100, never higher. We don’t oversell a rating your home doesn’t need, and we don’t undersell one your inspector will reject. The number goes on your quote, in writing.

Energy Performance - Low-E and insulated glass options are available for entry door inserts, which helps with afternoon sun exposure on west-facing Greenacres front entries without changing the impact rating of the assembly.

Color & Glass Options

Greenacres neighborhoods lean toward two architectural looks: the Mediterranean-inspired stucco homes with barrel tile roofs, and the clean-lined ranch and contemporary builds from the 1980s and 1990s. Your entry door color should play to that. Black entry doors read beautifully against cream or beige stucco and give a Mediterranean home a grounded focal point. White works on coastal-inspired facades and keeps the entry bright in the afternoon glare. Bronze brings warmth to gray and greige color palettes, which are everywhere in South Florida right now.

If you want a color that isn’t in the factory line, the paintable woodgrain finish gives you the texture of wood with a surface that accepts exterior-grade paint without peeling. As for glass, a decorative impact insert adds light and character to a front entry while keeping the PVB impact protection in place. A Low-E insulated insert suits entries that catch direct sun most of the day. And if you value privacy and maximum thermal performance, the solid panel option removes glass entirely while keeping the same impact-rated frame and sill construction. The door doesn’t need glass to be impact-rated; the system rating comes from the whole assembly.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Greenacres

An impact-rated entry door is only as good as the opening it’s anchored into. We’ve pulled old doors out of Greenacres homes and found frames that were never flashed, never sealed at the sill, and shimmed so loosely that daylight showed through the jamb. That’s why our installation process treats the rough opening as the job, not just the door.

We start with a pre-install inspection of the existing opening: stud condition, plumb and level on the rough framing, water damage behind the casing, and whether the sill area has a history of wicking moisture. From there, we set the new frame level, plumb, and square, using the anchoring schedule required by the NOA approval for that door’s design pressure. We seal the perimeter with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam and flash the rough opening the way a Florida wall demands, because wind-driven rain in Greenacres finds every gap left by a shortcut installer.

The installation practice follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which means we treat the door, frame, and wall interface as a single drainage system. After the door is in, we run a water test on the sill and threshold, check the sweep and weather seals, and confirm the hardware operates without binding. We also know the Greenacres permitting environment: HVHZ jurisdictions want the NOA and Florida Product Approval documentation submitted with the permit application, and we provide the right documents for your exact configuration. An improperly installed impact door is a warranty problem and a storm problem, and it fails the inspection. Our crews don’t leave the cleanup to you either; the old door, old hardware, and packaging leave with us.

Frequently Asked Questions - Entry Doors

What wind zone / design pressure is the Entry Door rated for? The design pressure is matched to your specific wind zone in Greenacres, up to +/-100, never higher. We determine the correct rating during your quote and list it in writing before any work begins. Call (754) 339-0784 to have us evaluate your opening.

What is the lead time for an Entry Door? Lead time depends on the configuration, finish, and glass package you select. Factory-finished doors with decorative glass tend to take longer than paint-grade solid panels, but most entry door orders arrive within a few weeks. We’ll give you a firm timeline when we quote your exact door.

Does it require a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval submittal for my permit? Yes. Greenacres is in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and your permit application will need the NOA and Florida Product Approval documentation for your specific door configuration. We include those documents with your quote so your submittal moves through the building department without delay. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll pull the right numbers for your door.

Can I customize the size or configuration? Entry doors are available up to 48 inches wide, with customization in glass insert style, finish, and hardware prep. If your opening is larger than 48 inches or you want a sidelight configuration, we’ll discuss your options during the measurement visit and quote what fits your opening correctly.

How do I maintain the frame? Wash the frame and glass with mild soap and water every few months, check the weather seals before hurricane season, and keep the threshold clear of debris so water drains away from the door. Fiberglass and steel frames hold up well in Greenacres humidity. If you notice any binding or draft around a door we installed, call us; we’d rather inspect it than have you live with a leak.
