About Our Florida Location

Owning a home or commercial property in Florida comes with many rewards and its own unique considerations. The sunny climate can come with potentially punishing heat on summer afternoons, which can famously give way to soaking rain or even days-long hurricanes. Fortunately, The French Steel Company is offering Florida Property owners its custom, strong, thermally broken, and impact-rated steel doors from its showroom in Boca Raton. You can see for yourself our lines of custom home products which include:

• Window walls: These are great ways to open up the interior of a property to Florida’s beautiful landscapes and sunsets while still enjoying the comfort of indoors. In cooler months, window walls can open to let the comfortably cool evening air in. Interior window walls are also a great way to subdivide spaces while keeping the environment light and airy.
• Curtain walls: Like window walls, curtain walls are a great way to open rooms, offices, and retail areas to the beauty outside. However, unlike window walls, these are load-bearing structural elements that add structural rigidity without a lot of weight, reducing building sway.
• Steel Double Doors: Double doors, whether they lead onto a back veranda or into a VIP room, open up a space. Wherever they’re installed, French Steel double doors bring strength, comfort, and sharp good looks to every environment.
• Bifold Doors: Exterior bifold doors are a great way to open up to the Florida weather when it’s cool and comfortable after an evening rain or during cooler days in Autumn, Winter, or Spring.

There are significant benefits to custom French Steel windows and doors. Florida residents will appreciate that they help keep properties cool and comfortable in the summer and can resist the driving rain of afternoon showers and the howling winds of tropical storms and hurricanes. They do all this while ensuring your Florida property stands out with classic industrial-looking black steel.

Steel Windows and Doors in Florida for Comfort, Everyday

Custom French Steel windows and doors lend an air of elegance to any entryway or commercial storefront with your choice of steel finishes, glass treatments, and hardware. Though, their beauty goes deeper than just their appearance. Each French Steel door is thermally broken. This goes far beyond doubling layers, but a complete set of thorough measures that ensure that thermal conductivity is broken between the interior and exterior environment in every possible place.

This is accomplished through:

• Double pane windows with an argon gap in between panes.
• High-density polyurethane foam in all cavities in the door and window frame.
• Triple blade sweeps along the bottom door edges that ensure an air leak stopping triple layer seal.
• Additional thermal breaks in windows, thresholds, seals, and kick plates.

These additional measures help ensure that a cool environment inside a store or home remains separate from the hot and humid climate outside. It also protects against summer rains and Florida’s saturated environment. French Steel doors are also rated for those days when more severe weather comes calling at the door.

It’s no secret that hurricanes are a fact of life in Florida, and indeed the state sets the standard for hurricane building codes with its High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). This particular zone includes only Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. It details special construction measures that need to be taken within those counties. The building codes for the rest of the state also include wind loading that makes allowances for the worst-case scenarios.
