Aluminum Hurricane Folding Glass Doors and Windows

Features

On July 21, 2011, Lanai Doors™ received Notice of Acceptance (NOA) from from Miami-Dade County for both outswing and inswing aluminum folding door and window systems. Lanai Doors™ was the first company to test and obtain Miami-Dade County hurricane approvals using the Centor E3 folding hardware. After updating for code changes, Lanai Doors™ current NOA numbers are 16-0303.03 and 16-0303.02, which expire on July 21, 2021. Additionally, these products received Certificate of Product Approval from the State of Florida (FL14768.1 R3 & FL14768.2 R3) and Product Evaluation numbers from the Texas Department of Insurance (DR-568 & DR-569). TDI, along with many other state codes, requires compliance with the International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC). Lanai Doors™ completed tests as detailed in ASTM E 1886 & ASTM E 1996.

Highly Rated

Lanai Doors™ hurricane aluminum bi-fold system is DP-70 rated (165 mph winds) for Miami-Dade County HVHZ large and small missiles. Lanai's hurricane system also satisfies other wind-borne debris region building codes from the East Coast to the Gulf of Mexico to all of the Caribbean and Hawaiian Islands.
Lanai's standard raised threshold obtained higher individual structural and cycling results. Structurally, the standard threshold achieved a DP-80 negative (177 mph winds) and DP-100 positive (198 mph winds) and successfully cycled at DP-90 (188 mph winds) for both outswing and inswing configurations.

Top-hung, Sleek Look

Manufactured in the United States, Lanai Doors™ hurricane-certified systems use the best component parts available. One critical part is the Centor E3 top-hung folding hardware. Unlike bottom roller systems that bind or clog with debris, Lanai Doors™ top-hung system will open and close with ease. Centor E3 hardware is so robust that the Lanai Doors™ hurricane systems only needs three stainless steel hinges between each panel. The lack of multiple hinges complements Lanai Doors™ design to give you a sleek clean look with our 1-3/4 inch thick panels which are made with 3-inch wide stiles and 3-5/8 inch top and bottom rails. With the right design, your hurricane bi-fold glass wall system does not have to look or feel like a fortress.

Custom Flexibility

With up to 16 panels (maximum of three-foot wide by eight-foot tall), Lanai Doors™ can fill a 48-foot wide opening while providing three unique threshold options. With 160 different layout configurations, Lanai Doors™ can custom design applications that fold up to eight panels to each side of your opening while folding to either the outside or inside. The extensive hurricane testing by Lanai Doors™ resulted in the largest and most flexible top-hung aluminum folding system available today.

Air & Water Tight

Lanai Doors™ qualified three thresholds (a raised water-tight standard, an ADA compliant lowrise and a flush lowrise) for Miami-Dade HVHZ testing. Lanai Doors™ standard thresholds achieved air infiltration of 0.02 cfm/ft2 for 1.57 psf (which is 15 times better than the allowable 0.30) and 0.05 cfm/ft2 for 6.24 psf! The outswinging standard threshold is also water tight up to DP-55. For water-tight applications with 100% overhang, all three thresholds are acceptable.
