The STORM SHIELD Hurricane Door is a side hinged egressable shutter system that looks attractive and provides a level of security as well as hurricane protection. It looks and acts like a security screen door, yet it is certified by Metro Dade as being tough enough to withstand the most violent of storms.
Why Doors Need Special Attention
Doors are some of the largest and most vulnerable openings in a building. Glass entry doors, French doors and sliding patio doors can be broken by wind-borne debris, and a failed door lets wind and rain into the building. At the same time, a door is how people get in and out. A door shutter that has to be bolted closed before a storm can trap occupants inside, and one that must be removed every morning is impractical.
The STORM SHIELD Hurricane Door solves both problems. It is hinged like a screen door, so it can be opened and used every day, and it can be opened from inside as an exit. Because the perforated InvisiPerf™ panel is see-thru, the door also lets light and air reach the entry while it is closed.
Sliding Patio Hurricane Door
Exeter also developed the STORM SHIELD sliding patio hurricane door – the first horizontal sliding shutter that you can see thru. Now you can shutter your sliding patio doors with a see-thru device that is tough enough to carry the STORM SHIELD name. STORM SHIELD sliding patio doors are engineered to cover a wide range of widths and multiple panels as well.
Like all STORM SHIELD products, the sliding patio door offers security as well as storm protection. Imagine being able to leave your patio door open to enjoy cool evening breezes while feeling secure.
