Lanai Doors™ Aluminum Hurricane-certified Folding Door & Window Systems
 On July 21, 2011, Lanai Doors™ received from Miami-Dade County their Notice of Acceptance (NOA) numbers 10-1019.01 and 10-1019.02 for their outswing and inswing folding door and window systems, respectfully. Both of these NOA's expire on July 21, 2016. Additionally, on September 2, 2011, Lanai received Certificate of Product Approval (FL14768.1 and FL14768.2) from the State of Florida. Lanai Doors™ is pursuing product approvals from other states for ASTM E1886 and ASTM E1996 testing.
Highly Rated
Lanai Doors™ hurricane aluminum bi-fold system is DP-70 rated (165 mph winds) for Miami-Dade County HVHZ large and small missiles. Lanai's hurricane system also satisfies other wind-borne debris region building codes from the East Coast to the Gulf of Mexico to all of the Caribbean and Hawaiian Islands.
Lanai's standard raised threshold obtained higher individual structural and cycling results. Structurally, the standard threshold achieved a DP-80 negative (177 mph winds) and DP-100 positive (198 mph winds) and successfully cycled at DP-90 (188 mph winds) for both outswing and inswing configurations.
Top-hung, Sleek Look
Lanai's hurricane-certified systems are manufactured in the United States using the best component parts available. One critical part is the Centor E3 top-hung folding hardware. Unlike bottom roller systems that bind or clog with debris, Lanai's hurricane top-hung system will open and close with ease. Centor E3 hardware is so robust that the Lanai Doors™ hurricane systems only needs three hinges between each panel. The lack of multiple hinges complements Lanai's sleek clean look of their 1-3/4 inch thick panels which are made with 3-inch wide stiles and 3-5/8 inch top and bottom rails. With the right design, your hurricane bi-fold glass wall system does not have to look or feel like a fortress.
Custom Flexibility
With up to 16 panels (maximum of three-foot wide by eight-foot tall), Lanai Doors™ can fill a 48-foot wide opening while providing three unique threshold options. With 160 different layout configurations, Lanai can custom design applications that fold up to eight panels to each side of your opening while folding to either the outside or inside. The extensive hurricane testing by Lanai Doors™ resulted in the largest and most flexible top-hung aluminum folding system available today.
Air & Water Tight
Lanai Doors™ qualified three thresholds (a raised water-tight standard, an ADA compliant lowrise and a flush lowrise) for Miami-Dade HVHZ testing. Lanai's standard threshold achieved air infiltration of 0.02 cfm/ft2 for 1.57 psf (which is 15 times better than the allowable 0.30) and 0.05 cfm/ft2 for 6.24 psf. Lanai's outswing standard threshold is water tight up to DP-55. For water-tight applications with 100% overhang, all three thresholds are acceptable.
