Testimonials

My firm has sold over 20 La Cantina folding door units and has not had a single call back !

This is an outstanding product - easily the most reliable product we distribute.

The La Cantina folding door unit provides the homeowner with an alternative to the old french door and sidelite door unit. With simple effort, a homeowner can fold open these door units for outdoor living.

Customers rave about the beauty of these doors in the closed position - as well as how grand they are when folded open. I own a window & door distributior - and can choose any door I want for my own home......

I chose La Cantina for my folding doors. We replaced an old french door unit with a 7 panel LCD folding door unit..... and wow, the difference is nothing less than spectacular.

We are proud to distribute such a fine product - and now we are the proud owners too. We can't wait for our first party to show off our La Cantina folding doors to our friends !

Florida Approved

The State of Florida requires all exterior doors to be tested and certified for use.
LaCantina Doors are one of the few folding/bifold doors available in both an all-wood and wood-clad that carry Florida Product Approval. Our all-aluminum system is engineered to the same standards and is currently undergoing final testing to submit for approval as well.

An all-wood Miami-Dade approved system is also available.

LaCantina Doors comply with the 2007 Florida Building Code and are approved for use in areas outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone or HVHZ.

Florida Building Code

Florida building code requires that products meet statewide standards for use in both new construction and remodel. Certain geographic regions within Florida require higher standards than others. The state of Florida has established a formal product approval procedure to accommodate this for product manufacturers.

High-Velocity-Hurricane-Zone (HVHZ)

This is the term referred to essentially the Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Miami-Dade certification is the highest level standard designed to protect structures from wind-borne debris that would be a result of the hurricane force winds. There is more than one type of Miami-Dade certification, essentially one with water and without.

Approved Impact Protective System

In HVHZ areas, products can be used that do not carry the Miami-Dade certification, so long as an “approved impact protective system” is installed. Exterior shutters are an example.
