Overview

The HD82 Impact rated bi-fold door is the ultimate choice for hurricane areas, offering total peace while protecting your family.

With Florida Building Code approval, the HD82 Impact Rated system from FSDC Global met and exceeded the performance requirements set forth by the organization which tests products designed and manufactured to comply with requirements of the Florida Building Code including the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), listed below are the tests the HD82 Impact were subjected too:

  • Large Missile Impact test procedures
  • Uniform Static Air Pressure Loading testing for impact and non impact resistant building envelope components
  • Cyclic Wind Pressure Loading test procedures
  • Water Infiltration and Resistance test procedures, dynamic and passive
  • Forced entry test procedures

The HD82 bi-fold door is similar in appearance to our AA72 system, but with hidden additional features to increase it’s strength to enable this a High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) condition status.

The main difference is that the thermally broken aluminum profile is reinforced with steel running throughout all of the door panel perimeter, additionally the interlocking tongue & groove feature is solid and the glass units are laminated to resist missile break through during a hurricane. Exceptionally durable, versatile and strong, the HD82 can work within any living arrangement or commercial situation, providing the ultimate WOW factor, in terms of aesthetics, functionality in hurricane prone areas.

Thermally insulated profiles provide a product that is also highly thermally efficient, ensuring your property stays the right temperature throughout the year, keeping your heating and cooling bills low, saving you money!

The HD82 is custom made to your exacting requirements - meaning as a customer you get to specify; dimensions, product style, opening style, configuration, color, finish, hardware, thresholds, glass specification, glazing options, magnetic stops, ventilation and internal blinds.

Our HD82 aluminum system can also be manufactured in as little as five days, when using our standard colors; Jet Black (RAL 9005 matt), Traffic White (RAL 9016 satin) and Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016 matt).

A matching range of windows and doors are available to complement the HD82 bi-fold door.
