Orlando Hurricane-Rated French Entry Doors With Sidelites: Options Announced

Impact Windows Center has announced the availability of sidelite pairings across its hurricane-rated French entry door lineup, giving Orlando homeowners options ranging from fixed and self-mating configurations to fully integrated units depending on the model.

Boynton Beach, United States, November 10, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Impact Windows Center has announced that Orlando, FL, property owners can pair hurricane-rated French entry doors from PGT, CGI, ESW, and ECO with sidelites that bring natural light into the entryway.

The announcement comes as natural light ranks among homeowners’ top priorities. According to a March 2026 Redfin survey conducted by Ipsos, 44% of U.S. residents said they would choose a smaller home with more sunlight over a larger one. Sidelites address that preference by adding glass panels beside the door to brighten the entryway, and Impact Windows Center offers them across its impact-resistant French entry door lineup.

Among these doors are the CGI 160 and PGT FD160, hurricane-rated aluminum outswing models available in single and double configurations. They offer the widest sidelite choice in the range: single doors accommodate fixed or self-mating units, while double doors accept free-standing or self-mating sidelites. Both feature a 4-inch frame, a concealed 3-point locking system, and triple weather stripping, and meet Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code standards for High-Velocity Hurricane Zones.

Buyers who prefer sidelites built into the door unit can choose the ESW Elite ES-EL300, available in single- or double-leaf configurations with integrated sidelites and a 1 ¾-inch panel depth. The door uses Tecnoglass Low-E insulated glass and heat-strengthened glass, has been tested against large and small missile impacts, and includes hardware designed to resist salt and humidity. Privacy glass is available, as are colonial, Brittany, and full-view grid styles.

For homeowners who want a statement entrance, the ECO French double door comes in 15 decorative bronze designs, with sidelites available to bring additional natural light to the entry. It features NFRC-certified laminated impact glass, a 4-inch frame depth, and a multi-point stainless steel lock, with colonial muntin patterns, a high bottom rail, and insulated Low-E glass available as options.

All of these French entry doors can be ordered online, with listed prices ranging from $1,828.99 to $5,990. Free pickup or shipping can be selected at checkout, and custom sizes, special glass options, and frame colors are quoted on request by phone, email, or live chat. Build orders require a 50% deposit. Contractors can apply for a builder discount, and professional installation is available through trained, certified subcontractors.
