  • Have been Florida Product Approved and are pending Texas Department of Insurance approval
  • Comply with Hurricane Wind Zone 3 large missile impact and cycling for missile levels C, D and E [ASTM E1886/E1996, TAS 201 and TAS 203]
  • Have a 70 psf Design Pressure rating and provide forced-entry resistance

These hurricane-resistant entrances feature:

  • 3′ by 9′ or 4′ by 8′ single doors with tie-rod construction
  • 1-3/4″ by 5″ vertical stiles and top rail
  • 10″ bottom rail for ADA compliance, 6-1/2″ or 7-1/2″ options available

  • A choice of glazing methods, sills, mid-rails and hardware

Tubelite architectural aluminum entrances use a steel tie rod construction that is both strong and flexible, and backed with a lifetime warranty. This tie rod assembly is as durable as welded corner construction, but also lets you modify, disassemble or resize the doors on site.

Our entrance systems easily integrate with Tubelite hurricane impact-resistant storefront and curtain wall systems. Durable anodized and painted finishes provide long-lasting protection and color options.
