Boca Raton Window Replacement provides professional french doors in Boca Raton, FL for residential and commercial properties across southern Palm Beach County. French doors solve a specific problem: you want the opening to read as architecture rather than as a track. Two swinging panels with narrow stiles and full glass give a Boca Raton room something a slider cannot, and they bring a set of technical problems a slider does not have.
The astragal is the heart of it. A pair of active panels meets at a vertical member that has to seal, latch and carry load, and a surface-applied astragal that only exists to hide the gap is not doing any of those. We specify a structural astragal with flush bolts top and bottom engaging into the frame and the sill.
Multipoint hardware is the second requirement, not an upgrade. Locking rods that engage the frame at three or more points along the height keep both panels drawn into the weatherstripping evenly, which is what makes the difference on the tested air and water numbers. A single deadbolt at the handle leaves the corners free to move.
Swing direction is a real decision. Outswing panels seal better under wind pressure, because the wind loads them into the weatherstrip rather than away from it, and they free the interior floor space. Inswing panels keep the hardware out of the salt air and are much easier to screen. On an exposed Boca Raton elevation we usually recommend outswing and explain why.
The sill is where these doors fail. Water arrives at the bottom of the opening under pressure and the threshold, the sill pan and the end dams have to send it back out. We install a pan that turns up at both ends and ties into the wall drainage plane, and we treat an adjustable threshold as a maintenance item that gets checked, not a fitting that gets installed and forgotten.
The jurisdiction changes the catalogue. Boca Raton is outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so a French door pair is approved under the statewide standard rather than the Miami-Dade protocols, and impact-rated swinging pairs at generous panel widths are considerably easier to source here than in Broward or Miami-Dade. The design pressure the pair has to carry comes off the Palm Beach County wind-speed map for your parcel.
That is worth knowing because narrow stiles and wide panels are exactly what people want from a French door, and exactly what the HVHZ approval process tends to eliminate. The look you can get in Boca Raton on a statewide approval is often not available thirty miles south at any price, which is worth knowing if your designer has been working from a Broward supplier's catalogue.
We will talk you out of them in two situations. A high-traffic opening to a pool deck, where a swinging pair in a wet path becomes a nuisance, and a wall where the panels have nowhere to swing without hitting furniture. A sliding or folding system does that job better. A single French door with a fixed sidelite often keeps the look without the swing problem.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — statewide Florida Product Approval listings valid outside the HVHZ, ASTM E1886 and E1996 large-missile impact testing, AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 performance class and grade, design pressures read from the county ultimate wind speed map, NFRC-labelled U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient, spectrally selective double-silver low-E coatings — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty.

Materials, equipment and how we do french doors
The difference between french doors that lasts and french doors that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with statewide Florida Product Approval listings valid outside the HVHZ, ASTM E1886 and E1996 large-missile impact testing, AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 performance class and grade, design pressures read from the county ultimate wind speed map, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Boca Raton job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in southern Palm Beach County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
