Why isn’t everyone designing for 40' x 12' or BIGGER Sliding Doors?

Not every manufacturer offers hurricane-rated sliding doors—but many do. If you can dream it, I can help you design for it.

As an expert across all major hurricane-approved systems (without dealer or manufacturer bias), I help clients navigate options that most teams overlook.

Here’s what most don’t realize:

  • Hurricane-rated systems may only be tested for 3, 4, or 5 tracks

  • Panels can be 4', 5', or even 6' wide, and up to 12' tall

  • Options vary: 2" or 1" interlockers, 3" sill risers, flush tracks, or deep channel drains

  • Price and performance vary dramatically based on small detail decisions

Most people under-design because they assume limits that don’t exist—or don’t know what’s possible. I help you explore the full range of what's available and get it detailed right from the start.
