Beautiful, Hurricane-Ready Sliding Glass Doors
A sliding glass door is one of the easiest ways to transform a Florida home. With broad panels of glass, it pulls in the maximum amount of natural light and opens up effortless views of your patio, pool, or yard. Because the panels glide along a track instead of swinging open, sliding glass doors are also a smart, space-saving choice for rooms without a lot of extra floor space.
The doors Ballistic Window & Door installs go far beyond looks. Every impact sliding glass door is built with laminated, shatter-resistant glass and reinforced frames that meet Florida's demanding building codes, including Miami-Dade and high-velocity hurricane zone standards. That means lasting protection from hurricane winds and flying debris — without the hassle of storm shutters or boarding up before every storm.
We install premium ES Windows impact patio doors with insulated, low-E laminated glass that blocks heat and UV, keeps your home comfortable, and helps lower energy bills. Just as importantly, a properly documented impact door installation can earn wind mitigation credits on your homeowners insurance — savings that often range from 10 to 45 percent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are impact sliding glass doors strong enough for a hurricane?
Yes. Our impact sliding glass doors are built with laminated, shatter-resistant glass and reinforced frames engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris. They meet Florida's strict building codes, including Miami-Dade and HVHZ standards, so your patio opening is protected without storm shutters or last-minute boarding up.
How much natural light do sliding glass doors let in?
A great deal. Sliding glass doors are mostly glass, so they flood a room with daylight and open up beautiful views of your patio, pool, or yard. They are an ideal choice for living rooms, kitchens, and master suites where you want to bring the outdoors in while keeping the home sealed against Florida heat and storms.
Will impact patio doors lower my home insurance?
In most cases, yes. Hurricane-rated sliding glass doors qualify for wind mitigation credits on Florida homeowners insurance, and many of our customers see savings of roughly 10 to 45 percent. Because Ballistic was founded by a former insurance adjuster, we make sure your installation is documented correctly so you can capture every credit you are entitled to.
Do sliding glass doors save space compared to swinging doors?
They do. A sliding glass door glides along a track instead of swinging open, so it needs no clearance in front of or behind the panels. That makes it perfect for rooms with limited floor space, tight patios, or furniture layouts where a hinged door would be in the way.
How energy efficient are impact sliding glass doors?
Very. Our ES Windows impact doors use insulated, low-E laminated glass that blocks heat and harmful UV rays while keeping conditioned air inside. The result is a more comfortable home, less strain on your AC, and lower energy bills throughout Florida's long cooling season.
How long does it take to install a sliding glass door?
Most single sliding glass door installations are completed in a day, though larger multi-panel openings or several doors may take longer. After your free in-home consultation, we provide a clear timeline up front so you always know what to expect from measurement through final inspection.
Who installs my sliding glass doors?
Our own experienced, uniformed crews — never subcontractors. Ballistic Window & Door is a licensed and insured Florida general contractor (CBC1266857), and the same team that measures your opening installs your door the right way, ensuring a watertight, code-compliant fit that performs for decades.
