Adding a screened front door lets you enjoy Florida’s sunshine and breezes while keeping pests like flies, lizards, and mosquitoes inside. It also prevents lawn debris such as grass clippings and wasp’s nests blown off walkway walls from entering the house.

Sliding Entry Doors

Sliding doors are the ideal space-saver, allowing you to enjoy expansive views and natural light while offering easy opening and closing. They can be used as exterior or interior doors, and are available in a wide variety of styles to match your aesthetic preferences.

Nothing says Americana like a Dutch Door. This style features a single door split in two, allowing homeowners to open the top part and let in fresh air, or receive deliveries without unlocking the entire door. For an eye-catching entry, complement these doors with a crisp shade of blue, such as Sherwin-Williams’ Greek Isles (P510-1) for a welcoming front porch.

Bi-Fold Entry Doors

Unlike traditional doors, bifold doors consist of panels that fold together and slide on runners on the floor and upper lintel or beam of your doorway. Usually glazed with large glass panels, they allow a lot of natural light into your home.

They provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, especially with dramatic sizes for panoramic views and unimpeded light. They require minimal maintenance and are ideal for remodeling projects.

Our impact-rated bifold doors feature strong aluminum frames clad in attractive natural wood. They are designed and manufactured in Palm Coast to resist hurricane winds, rain, and debris and meet strict Florida building codes. Talk with your local custom home builder about including them in your new project.

Pivot Entry Doors

Pivot doors are a modern trend that is becoming popular in South Florida homes. They have a sleek appearance and require less effort to open and close than standard swinging doors.

Unlike hinges on conventional doors, pivot doors are attached to both the top and bottom of the door frame. This allows them to withstand far heavier weights than traditional doors can.

These doors can be built in many different designs and colors with custom lites and muntins to fit your design style. They can also be installed as impact doors to ensure your home is protected during a hurricane or other severe weather conditions.

Pocket Entry Doors

Whether you’re looking to optimize space, add a classic touch or make your home easier to maneuver for individuals with mobility challenges, pocket doors are an attractive and practical alternative. They slide into the wall, eliminating the need for swing space, and they can even increase privacy and sound reduction.

Although their popularity waned following the Victorian era, pockets are making a comeback in luxury homes. They can be customized with trim and transom windows, and they work in any room. They are especially advantageous in smaller rooms and hallways where a hinged door might get in the way.

Hinged Entry Doors

Hinged doors are a classic choice for traditional homes and are available in a variety of styles. From French-style doors with sidelites to colonial gridded options, you can find an exterior door that perfectly complements your home’s architecture.

Depending on the direction your front door faces, you may have to meet Florida building requirements that require inswinging doors. These doors must have a certain overhang to avoid sun exposure during the hottest times of the day. Fortunately, impact entry doors can help you meet these requirements while enhancing your home’s security and energy efficiency.
