We’re a local Wellington contractor that understands Palm Beach County wind zones and the HVHZ paperwork your permit reviewer expects.

Product Overview - Entry Doors
Our entry door lineup is built around Therma-Tru fiberglass and steel door systems. That pairing matters in South Florida. Fiberglass gives you the look of painted wood without rot, warping, or termite problems, and steel delivers a heavier feel with excellent impact performance. Both are available in impact-rated configurations that hold up under hurricane-tested conditions while still looking like a proper front door, not a piece of industrial equipment.
Therma-Tru built their reputation on entry systems that can take an impact rating without giving up curb appeal. That’s exactly what Wellington homeowners ask us for. They want a door that passes the permit review, survives storm season, and still makes the neighbors slow down. Factory-finished options arrive with a durable coating already applied at the plant. Paintable woodgrain finishes let you match the door to your trim, your shutters, or a color you saw in a magazine. Either way, you’re not compromising looks for code compliance.
These systems fit traditional, Mediterranean, coastal, and modern elevations. A solid panel with a painted finish reads classic. A decorative glass insert with Low-E glass brightens the entry while keeping the Florida sun in check. The common thread is the engineering underneath: impact-rated slabs, reinforced frame construction, and glazing that has been tested as part of a complete opening system, not as loose components.
TruePane Windows & Doors has installed these entry systems in Wellington long enough to know which configurations clear Palm Beach County permitting without back-and-forth, and which ones belong on a different wall. We help you choose the right combination the first time.
Technical Specifications
Here’s what you need to know before you start comparing options. These are the working numbers and material choices that drive the quote.
- Frame materials: Fiberglass or steel, depending on the look and feel you want
- Maximum size: Up to 48″ wide in the configurations we install most often
- Glass options: Decorative impact glass insert, Low-E insulated glass insert, or solid panel with no glass
- Finish options: White, black, bronze, or a paintable woodgrain finish that takes site-applied paint cleanly
- Design pressure: Matched to your Wellington wind zone, up to +/-100, never higher than your location calls for
- Compliance: Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval numbers available per configuration, engineered to Florida Building Code (FBC) High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) requirements
We’ll confirm the specific NOA or Florida Product Approval number that applies to your exact size, glass, and frame combination on your written quote. That’s the document your permit reviewer wants to see, and we make sure it’s included.
Hurricane & Compliance Performance
This is the section Wellington homeowners ask about most. Here’s what makes these entry doors a real impact-rated system, not a standard door with a hurricane sticker.
Laminated Impact Glass
The glass in our glazed entry door configurations uses a PVB (polyvinyl butyral) interlayer laminated between panes. Under impact, that interlayer holds the glass in the frame instead of letting shards fly into your foyer. The glass may crack, but it stays put and keeps the envelope sealed.
Miami-Dade NOA / Florida Product Approval
Every configuration carries a Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) and Florida Product Approval number issued per specific size, glass, and frame combination. We verify the exact number on your quote so your permit submittal matches the product being installed. No guessing, no substitutions.
FBC / HVHZ Compliance
These entry doors are engineered to Florida Building Code (FBC) High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) requirements. That’s the stricter standard that applies to Palm Beach County, not the inland code used elsewhere in Florida. Wellington sits inside the HVHZ map, so this matters for permit approval and long-term storm performance.
TAS 201 / TAS 202 / TAS 203 Testing Context
HVHZ-rated products are tested under a family of protocols: TAS 201 for large-missile impact, TAS 202 for cyclic wind-pressure loading, and TAS 203 for forced-entry resistance. These aren’t marketing labels. They’re the test procedures your building official references when reviewing the product approval.
Design Pressure for Your Wind Zone
We match the door’s design pressure to your actual Wellington wind zone, up to +/-100, and never higher than required. Buying a door rated far beyond your zone costs more without adding meaningful protection. We quote the right pressure rating for the wall it’s going into.
Energy Performance
Low-E and insulated glass options are available for entry doors with glazing. That helps manage solar heat gain on west-facing and south-facing elevations, which are common in Wellington’s larger lot communities where front entries get full afternoon sun.
Color & Glass Options
The finish on your entry door does a lot of work in Wellington. White reads crisp against a Mediterranean stucco home. Black makes a strong, modern statement on a coastal or transitional elevation. Bronze sits comfortably between the two, and it hides dust and water spots better than lighter colors during the rainy season. Paintable woodgrain gives you the grain texture of a solid wood door without the maintenance, and it takes a custom color if you’re matching existing trim or repainting the whole facade.
For glass, a solid panel is the most affordable and the most secure-looking option. A decorative impact glass insert adds light to a dark foyer while keeping the hurricane rating intact, and it’s popular for homes in The Landings and Olympia where natural light is already a selling point. Low-E insulated glass inserts pair the impact rating with heat rejection, which is worth considering if your entry faces west or gets direct sun most of the day.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Wellington
The best impact-rated entry door underperforms if it’s installed badly. A Miami-Dade NOA only applies when the door is installed as an assembled system: slab, frame, hardware, anchoring, and perimeter seal all working together. We install these doors to the standard the product was tested to, using AAMA 2400/2410 installation practice and AAMA 812 low-expansion foam for the perimeter seal. Level, plumb, square, with proper shimming and anchoring. That’s the only way the door performs in storm conditions the way the testing documents say it will.
Every Wellington installation starts with a pre-install inspection. We open the existing opening, check the rough framing, look for moisture damage or rot in the surrounding wall, and confirm the rough opening dimensions match the door configuration we quoted. Then we set the frame, shim it level and plumb, anchor it per the product approval, and apply the low-expansion foam perimeter seal that prevents air and water intrusion without distorting the frame. We run a final water test, clean up the site, and walk you through the operation and maintenance of the door.
Wellington-specific conditions show up regularly on our installs. Coastal exposure in the eastern part of the county means higher wind zone requirements in some neighborhoods. Some communities have architectural review boards that require specific finish colors or door styles. Permitting through the Village of Wellington or Palm Beach County follows HVHZ rules, and we’re familiar with what the plan reviewer wants to see. Improper installation compromises the NOA-rated system, and in Wellington, that can mean a failed inspection, a leaky door, or worse in a storm. We install it right.
Frequently Asked Questions - Entry Doors
The design pressure is matched to your specific Wellington wind zone, up to +/-100, and never higher than your location requires. We calculate the correct rating based on your address and the door’s size and glass configuration. Call (561) 349-4826 and we can confirm the design pressure for your street while you’re on the phone.
Lead time depends on the configuration: solid panel fiberglass doors with standard finishes typically arrive faster, while custom glass inserts, non-standard sizes, or paint-grade woodgrain finishes can add production time. We give you a realistic delivery window on your quote, and we schedule your installation date around the door’s arrival so you’re never left with a hole in the front of your house.
Yes, in Palm Beach County and most Wellington permit applications, the building official will ask for the Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number that matches your exact door configuration. We include that document package with your quote and permit submittal. It’s part of our standard process, not an add-on.
Entry doors can be ordered in a range of sizes up to 48″ wide, with double-door configurations available on many models. If your rough opening isn’t a standard size, we can often make it work with the right sizing or adjustments to the opening. We’ll confirm what’s available for your exact measurements during the free on-site visit.
Wash the door periodically with mild soap and water to remove dirt, salt, and pollen, and inspect the door bottom sweep and weatherstripping once a year. Paintable woodgrain finishes may need repainting every few years in direct sun. Factory-finished doors require the least maintenance. We can walk you through the specifics for your finish when we install the door.
