What is a French Door?

French Doors are a sophisticated way of bringing the outdoors inside. Connect waterfront views with your home; enjoy unobstructed gardens, the pool, the hills, or sunsets from any place you desire. Whether an elegant entry door solution or a simple passage door from a bedroom or to the backyard, French doors can fit virtually any application you desire. French doors can also be used inside of a home to give a study or office additional privacy.

Why PGT WinGuard Aluminum French Doors?

PGT® WinGuard® aluminum French doors give you effortless hurricane protection and security through life’s storms. PGT’s impact doors help save lives. They resist flying debris in hurricane conditions and deter opportunistic intruders. Even if the glass cracks during impact, it will remain secure in its frame, preventing outside elements like wind and water from infiltrating your home. Additionally, with PGT products installed, your home insurance premium may be reduced.

Weathering a storm is a stressful experience. And in a home covered in plywood or shutters, that stress can be amplified by the roar of the storm on top of complete darkness, should the power go out. PGT doors not only minimize sound through a storm but everyday noises, too — from honking cars to lawnmowers and more.

PGT WinGuard Aluminum products feature laminated glass comprising two panes bonded together with a robust and transparent interlayer for effortless impact resistance in a heavy-duty frame. In a state-of-the-art testing lab, PGT spends hundreds of hours making sure each PGT WinGuard Aluminum door meets or exceeds the International Building Code for:

• Air infiltration
• Deglazing
• Structural integrity
• Water resistance
• Forced-entry resistance
• Small- and large-missile impact protection
