Your Patio Connection — Protected, Beautiful, and Always Ready

In South Florida, patio access is not a seasonal amenity — it is a year-round lifestyle feature. Pool decks, outdoor kitchens, lanais, screened porches, and garden terraces are extensions of the living space, and the doors connecting them to the interior are used hundreds of times a year. Royal Builders Miami installs the full range of impact-rated patio door systems for Miami-Dade and Broward County homeowners — sliding, swing, bi-fold, and multi-panel configurations in widths from 5 feet to 20+ feet. Every system we install is HVHZ certified with Miami-Dade NOA approval, sourced manufacturer-direct from PGT, CGI, and WinDoor for 30-40% savings compared to retail pricing. The patio door is one of the most critical openings in your home during a hurricane. Standard sliding glass doors — the aluminum sliders installed in most South Florida homes built before 2005 — are notoriously vulnerable. Replacing these dated systems with HVHZ-certified impact patio doors eliminates this vulnerability entirely. Modern impact patio doors go far beyond storm protection: bi-fold and multi-panel systems span openings from 10 to 20+ feet wide; Low-E glass cuts solar heat gain from sun-drenched openings; multi-point locking hardware deters burglars; and integrated retractable screen systems, pet door inserts, and keyed exterior locks round out the practical feature set. Royal Builders Miami handles every detail from free measurement to final inspection. Call (954) 737-2757 today.

Replaces Vulnerable Old Sliders

Pre-2005 aluminum sliding doors are a major hurricane weak point. Our HVHZ-certified impact replacements eliminate this vulnerability completely, with laminated glass and multi-point hardware engineered for Category 5 conditions.

Open-Air Living Up to 20 Ft Wide

Bi-fold and multi-panel systems fold completely away to create expansive openings that blur the line between inside and outside — transforming how you use and enjoy your home.

Always-On Hurricane Protection

No preparation needed before a storm. No shutters to close. No panels to install. Your patio doors are always protected, always ready — regardless of how quickly a storm develops.

Solar Heat Reduction

Low-E glass on south and west-facing patio doors dramatically reduces solar heat gain, reducing air conditioning loads and monthly energy costs in Miami's demanding summer climate.

Multi-Point Security Locking

Sliding doors are a preferred target for burglars due to weak single-point locks. Our impact systems use multi-point hardware that secures at multiple points along the frame, plus laminated glass that resists forced entry.

Screen & Pet Door Integration

Retractable screen systems and pet door inserts are available to maximize daily usability. Screen systems allow natural cross-ventilation without insects. Pet doors are sized for most breeds.

Insurance Premium Credits

Compliant impact patio doors qualify for Florida wind-mitigation insurance credits. Combined with other impact products, annual premium savings of $1,000-$3,000+ are common.

Manufacturer-Direct Savings

Purchasing directly from PGT, CGI, and WinDoor allows us to offer patio door systems at 30-40% below retail pricing, saving homeowners $500-$3,000 per system compared to typical contractor quotes.

Sliding Impact Patio Door

The most common configuration. One or more panels slide horizontally on stainless steel tracks. Available from 5 to 16 feet wide. Heavy-duty tandem-wheel carriages for smooth operation. Multi-point locking standard. Compatible with retractable screen and pet door add-ons.

Swing Impact Patio Door

Single or paired panels that swing inward or outward. More traditional in appearance than a slider, with a positive compression seal when closed. Popular for lanai and screened porch access where a traditional door feel is preferred.

Bi-Fold Impact Patio Door

Multiple panels fold concertina-style to stack at one or both ends of the opening. Ideal for openings from 8 to 20 feet wide where you want to maximize the open span. Popular for indoor-outdoor entertaining areas, summer kitchens, and covered lanais.

Multi-Panel Sliding System

Three or more panels on multiple tracks that can be arranged to create partial or full openings. More flexible than bi-fold — panels can be positioned at any point along the opening. Available in custom configurations up to 24 feet wide.

Pocket Patio Door

Sliding panels retract into wall cavities, completely disappearing when fully open. Creates the most seamless interior-to-exterior transition of any patio door system. Popular in luxury custom construction.

Are old sliding patio doors a hurricane risk?
Yes — significantly. Pre-2005 aluminum sliding glass doors are among the most common failure points in South Florida hurricane damage. The glass is thin single-pane or non-laminated, the tracks are lightweight and deform under wind pressure, and the single-point locks provide minimal resistance. Replacing them with HVHZ-certified impact systems eliminates this risk entirely.
What is the widest patio door opening you can cover?
Our multi-panel sliding and bi-fold systems can span openings up to 20-24 feet wide. Bi-fold systems with 5-6 panels are common for wide covered lanai and entertainment area openings. Pocket sliding systems can also span very wide openings. We specify the right system based on your structural opening and desired aesthetic.
Do patio doors come with screens?
Yes. We offer retractable screen systems as an add-on for most patio door configurations. Retractable screens roll into a housing when not in use, keeping them protected and out of sight. They allow natural ventilation and keep insects out. Note that screens are not impact-rated and should be retracted if a storm approaches.
Can I add a pet door to an impact sliding patio door?
Yes. Pet door inserts are available for select impact sliding door configurations and are sized for small, medium, and large dogs. The insert maintains the impact integrity of the panel while providing convenient pet access.
Do impact patio doors help with energy costs?
Significantly. Many South Florida homes have old single-pane sliding doors on south and west-facing walls that let in enormous amounts of solar heat. Upgrading to Low-E impact glass dramatically reduces this heat gain, cutting air conditioning loads. Many customers report $80-$200 per month in energy savings after replacing large single-pane sliding doors.
What is bi-fold vs. multi-slide for a wide patio opening?
Bi-fold doors fold concertina-style and stack tightly at one or both ends — ideal when you want to maximize the open span and don't mind the accordion stack. Multi-slide systems have panels on multiple tracks that can be moved independently to any position — better for partial opening configurations and openings where a stacking panel would obstruct the view or flow.

Marcus Williams

The bi-fold patio doors Royal Builders installed completely changed how we use our living room. When they're open, it's like having an outdoor room the size of our whole house. Amazing.

Lisa Hernandez

We replaced three old sliding patio doors. The difference in our energy bill was immediate — almost $150 less the first month. And we have real peace of mind before storm season now.
