## Why Florida doors fail differently
Florida’s combination of salt-laden coastal air, year-round 75–85% humidity, intense UV, daily afternoon thunderstorms, and seasonal hurricane activity creates a uniquely aggressive environment for sliding doors and windows. Failure profiles by environment:
– **Barrier island and oceanfront homes**: Roller corrosion 60% faster than inland; track pitting from salt; glazing seal failures within 8–10 years instead of 15–20
– **Intracoastal-adjacent homes**: Salt-driven hardware corrosion; weatherstrip degradation from continuous humidity
– **Inland Florida (Orlando metro, Lake Mary, Heathrow)**: Thermal cycling stress on aluminum frames; lake-effect humidity; UV degradation of plastic balance components
– **Northeast Florida (Jacksonville, Atlantic Beach)**: Unique among Florida regions — actual winter cold creates expansion-contraction stress on hardware combined with summer humidity
– **Vacation rental zones (Osceola, ChampionsGate, Reunion)**: Sliding doors face 3–4× normal residential wear from heavy guest use
– **Hurricane-affected zones (Lee, Collier, Charlotte)**: Residual frame distortion from wind events; FBC-compliant impact glazing requirements after damage
