Sliding Impact Doors
Large-format sliding impact doors open the rear wall to the pool deck or intracoastal — engineerable up to 40-foot uninterrupted spans, with aluminum-frame engineering built for coastal Florida. Impact-rated to Florida code, installed by in-house Access Impact crews.
Context
Large-format impact-rated sliding doors are the choice when the whole rear wall transitions from interior to pool deck or water view. The largest configurations engineer to wide, uninterrupted spans; below that, common openings run 12, 16, 20, and 24 feet.
Aluminum-frame engineering keeps the slide true over 30+ years of salt air — and every panel is laminated impact glass to Florida code. Where a rear wall calls for a traditional look instead, French doors are the swing-open alternative.
Where they fit
The classic Florida move: the back of the house opens fully to the deck and pool.
Wide glass that keeps the view whether the door is open or closed.
A rear wall that disappears so inside and outside read as one room.
Panels that slide into a wall cavity for a clear, frameless-feeling opening.

How to choose
Every door is impact-rated to Florida code. The difference is span, style, and operation.
Install considerations
Where sliding impact doors installs go wrong — and how we get them right every time.
A wide span carries real load. We review the header so the wall stays supported and the door rolls true for decades.
A rear-wall slider at a pool deck is a water-intrusion risk if the threshold isn't detailed right. We follow the approved sill protocol.
A 20-foot slider only glides if the track is dead-level and the rollers are set to spec. We calibrate before sign-off.
Access Impact installs as a licensed Florida general contractor (CGC1525402). Every window and door we set is impact-rated to the Florida Building Code and carries a current Florida Product Approval — and, where your county requires it, a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We pull the permit, cite the product approval on your written quote, and back it with a 100% first-time inspection pass rate.
Common questions
The largest configurations engineer up to about 40 feet uninterrupted; most residential rear walls run 12–24 feet. We size it to your opening and structure.
A pocket-slide door disappears into a wall cavity when open, so the opening reads as a clear span with no stacked panels. We'll tell you if your wall can accommodate the pocket.
Yes — laminated impact glass to the Florida Building Code with a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA on every configuration.
Aluminum-frame engineering with salt-air-grade finishes — the right call for a coastal rear wall that sees sun, salt, and daily use.
Large-format doors are made to your opening; a typical project runs 10–12 weeks from contract to install.
CWS and ES Windows, installed by in-house Access crews.
Free in-home consult. Florida-licensed installs. OIR-1802 wind-mitigation form provided for every install.
