AfterFrench & Double Doors in Palm Beach Gardens, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
French and double doors bring natural light and a clean opening between indoor and outdoor living space, which matters in Palm Beach Gardens where patios, lanais, and pool decks are part of daily life. But here, a door is also a structural component of your home’s wind-resistance system. TruePane Windows & Doors supplies and installs paired impact-rated French doors with laminated glass in every lite, engineered for Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. We serve homeowners throughout Palm Beach Gardens with proper measurements, permitting guidance, and installation that keeps the door’s Miami-Dade NOA rating intact. Call (772) 794-8169 to schedule a free on-site measurement and quote.
Product Overview - French & Double Doors
Our impact-rated French and double doors are built as a matched pair that opens from the center, with equal-width lites on both panels for a symmetrical sightline that works across Palm Beach Gardens architecture, from Mizner-inspired Spanish Revival to clean-lined coastal contemporary. Every lite carries laminated impact glass with a PVB interlayer. That means if something strikes the glass during a storm, the pane cracks but does not blow inward. The door stays in its frame, and your home stays protected from wind-driven rain and pressure changes.
The frame does the structural work. We offer these doors in aluminum and vinyl, both reinforced to hold laminated glass panels and multi-point locking hardware. Multi-point locks engage at the top, bottom, and center of the door simultaneously, which gives you a tighter seal and better resistance to forced entry than a single deadbolt. That matters as much for everyday security in Palm Beach Gardens as it does during an active hurricane season.
This is not a patio door with a sliding panel tacked on. It is a hinged door system sized to carry real glass weight, operate smoothly on reinforced hinges, and close square after years of Florida humidity and heat. The profile works for interior-to-exterior openings onto a covered lanai, a courtyard entry, or a rear elevation facing the pool.

Hurricane & Compliance Performance
Every French and double door we sell in Palm Beach Gardens is built and installed to remain part of your home’s continuous wind-resistance envelope. Six performance details define how this product earns its rating.
Laminated Impact Glass
Each lite carries a PVB interlayer sandwiched between glass panes. Under impact, the glass fractures but stays bonded to the interlayer and seated in the frame. Your home’s interior never gets exposed to wind, rain, or flying debris. The glass itself becomes the barrier.
Miami-Dade NOA / Florida Product Approval
TruePane supplies this door with the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval documentation that matches your exact configuration. These numbers are issued per size, glass type, and frame combination, so they are verified on your specific quote before ordering.
FBC / HVHZ Compliance
This product is engineered to Florida Building Code High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. In Palm Beach Gardens, where wind zone maps dictate design pressure minimums, the door must meet the standard for your specific address, not just a generic Florida spec. We confirm that before fabrication.
TAS 201 / TAS 202 / TAS 203 Testing Context
HVHZ-rated doors are tested under the TAS protocol family: TAS 201 for large-missile impact, TAS 202 for cyclic wind-pressure loading, and TAS 203 for forced-entry resistance. These tests simulate the real sequence of a hurricane: debris strikes, pressure builds, and the door must hold.
Design Pressure Matched to Your Wind Zone
The door gets ordered with a design pressure rating that matches the wind zone for your Palm Beach Gardens property, up to +/-100. We never sell a higher rating as an upsell. The rating you get is the rating your structure requires, documented in your quote.
Energy Performance Options
Low-E insulated glass is available when you want better thermal performance on western or southern exposures around Palm Beach Gardens. Low-E coatings reduce heat gain without changing the appearance of the door. Tinted glass remains an option where additional glare reduction is desired.
Color & Glass Options
Finish choices matter in Palm Beach Gardens because your doors never disappear. They anchor a facade, frame a courtyard, or define the rear elevation facing the pool. White and almond frames stay classic against the stucco and stone tones found throughout neighborhoods like Frenchman’s Creek, Admiral’s Cove, and Mirasol. Bronze and black create a sharper contrast for contemporary elevations and darker trim packages. Tan works well on Mediterranean-style homes where a softer, warmer frame blends with natural stone coping and clay pavers.
Glass selection depends on how you use the room. Clear impact glass preserves the truest view and works well on north-facing openings. Low-E insulated glass adds thermal performance for doors that catch direct afternoon sun. Tinted glass cuts glare on west-facing patios and pool decks without sacrificing impact protection. Your TruePane consultant will help you pair the right glass with the right frame for your specific elevation in Palm Beach Gardens.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Gardens
An impact-rated French or double door only performs to its tested rating if it is installed correctly. A NOA-rated door installed out of square, sitting on compressed shims, or sealed with the wrong perimeter product is a door that can fail at the exact moment you need it. That is why homeowners in Palm Beach Gardens call TruePane instead of treating this as a general carpentry task.
We start with a pre-installation inspection of the rough opening. We check the existing header, the condition of the buck, and whether the surrounding wall has settled. In older Palm Beach Gardens homes near the Intracoastal, we often find moisture-weakened framing around patio doors. We address that before the new door goes in because no door can compensate for a soft opening.
Our crews set every door level, plumb, and square. We follow AAMA 2400/2410 practice for installation of windows and doors in exterior walls, and we use AAMA 812 low-expansion foam as the perimeter sealant. The foam creates an air and water barrier without bowing the frame. After the door is anchored and sealed, we perform a water test, clean the glass and frame, and walk you through operation of the multi-point lock and hinge adjustments.
For Palm Beach Gardens specifically, we know the local permitting process. HVHZ jurisdictions here require the Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval submittal as part of the permit package. We provide the correct documentation for your configuration so your permit does not stall. Coastal exposure, wind zone maps, and HOA finish requirements are all part of the conversation before you order. Call (772) 794-8169 to schedule your free on-site measurement.
Frequently Asked Questions - French & Double Doors

We give you a written timeline when you order, and we schedule installation once the slab is in our local warehouse.
Yes. Palm Beach Gardens is in an HVHZ jurisdiction, so your building department will require the NOA or Florida Product Approval documentation that matches your exact door configuration. TruePane Windows & Doors includes this paperwork in your submittal package so the permit process stays on schedule.
Our paired French and double doors are available up to 96 inches wide, with custom sizing below that threshold. We adjust panel width, glass lite layout, and finish to match your opening and your home’s architecture in Palm Beach Gardens. Fixed sidelites can be added where the opening calls for more glass.
Wash the glass and frame with a mild soap solution and soft cloth, and keep the bottom track and weatherstripping free of sand and leaf debris. In Palm Beach Gardens, salt air near the Intracoastal and oceanfront corridors means an extra rinse every few months helps preserve the finish. Check hinge screws and multi-point lock engagement annually. We walk you through all of this at installation.
