Custom PGT WinGuard® French Doors Bring Hurricane Protection to Tampa
Bringing PGT’s Toughest French Sliding Doors to Tampa Homes Before Hurricane Season
I’m excited to share that we’re rolling out the latest line of weather-proof PGT French sliding doors right here in Tampa, Florida—just in time for hurricane season. At Impact Windows Center, we’ve brought in a whole range of hurricane-rated, impact-resistant French-style WinGuard® doors from the acclaimed manufacturer PGT. Hurricane season officially runs from June through the end of November, so the timing couldn’t be better.
In 2024, the National Hurricane Center estimated that multiple “five-billion-dollar hurricane events” caused around $124 billion in damages. And the experts are clear—stronger hurricanes are on their way, fueled by climate change and the extreme weather it drives.
For us, it’s simple: the right fixture can mean the difference between your home standing strong or facing the hardship of rebuilding. A PGT WinGuard® door is an essential piece of a truly weather-resistant home. And if you’re in Tampa, we can build one to order just for you.
Built Tough—And Built for You
This new PGT line includes single, double, and two-panel sliding French doors—all crafted with tough aluminum frames and hurricane impact-resistant glass, secured with a sturdy two-point locking system. Each door is equipped with a heavy-duty hinge designed to carry the full weight of the door for years of smooth, trouble-free operation.
And here’s the best part—you’re not limited to what you see on our site. We can handle custom orders at no extra cost, making sure your door fits your style, space, and needs perfectly.
We also offer upgrades, like complementary sidelites to bring in more natural light while adding a stylish touch. You can even upgrade to ENERGY STAR®-rated glass with a higher U-factor for improved energy efficiency.
Ready for the Strongest Storms
No matter which design you choose, all PGT WinGuard® doors we customize are HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) compliant. They’re thoroughly tested for both impact resistance and overall structural integrity—because when the storms hit, you want zero doubts about your home’s defenses.
There’s also a financial upside: by installing impact-resistant doors and windows, you may qualify for wind mitigation discounts on your insurance premiums—potentially lowering the windstorm portion by 15% to 45%.
