Google’s Answer: “An impact door is specifically designed to resist heavy blows and stay intact even when heavy objects are hurled at it. Decorative glass insets on impact rated doors are made of specialty glass that will also take a heavy impact without yielding.”

Smash City Pro’s Answer: The word “impact” in front of window or door means it meets the required code for the state of Florida. Meeting that code means you have different unique layers of glass:

1.  The “grilled cheese” — two pieces of glass are heated together with laminate in the middle. When it hardens, it is impenetrable. Check out how impenetrable it really is when we attempt to smash it:

2.  The second layer is an air space with argon gas inside. Argon gas is denser than air and can catch and stop harmful UV and heat rays.

3.  The next climate-controlled element is called low-e coating, and it sits on the outside of the second layer of glass to add a reflective nature.

4.  The final element is the outside piece of single strength glass. This piece of glass meets energy code and is extremely energy efficient.

All of these elements together create one strong impenetrable piece of glass.

Impact doors have three types of products: a French door (or swing door), a sliding glass door, and an entry door with more of a design element. All of those products are able to be manufactured as impact products.
