High-Quality, Customised Hurricane Rated Garage Doors

There are many benefits to living in Florida, from the beautiful beaches to warm weather to fun local attractions. But, amidst all these benefits lies the yearly threat of a hurricane strike. Hurricane damage can be so costly for even the most insured homeowner, which is why it’s so important to take precautions where possible. When you choose a hurricane rated garage door, you’re able to enjoy some peace of mind as hurricane season approaches. These doors are stronger and more durable than other options, meaning you can count on long-term performance and durability through all seasons whether a hurricane strikes or not. Hurricane rated doors, also known as impact resistant, wind resistant, or reinforced impact rated garage doors, are specifically designed to withstand the damage of hurricanes and high windstorms. Some models can endure winds up to 200 miles per hour, which is more than the speeds of category 5 hurricanes. Garage doors play a critical role in protecting your home, especially if you live in a hurricane prone or high wind region. If you do not have a tested, wind-rated door, high winds can force it out of the opening, causing an uncontrolled buildup of internal pressure and ultimately a blowout of your home’s roof and supporting walls. Our industry leading wind rated garage doors are the pinnacle of high-wind protection and stylish designs. Because garage doors are so large, pressure from hurricane activity or high winds can cause garage doors to detach from their tracks or even collapse. That’s why we’ve created an exclusive line of innovative wind load garage doors, fashioned to withstand nature’s power and keep your family, employees and possessions safe.

For many homes, garage doors are a convenient necessity. Whether your garage contains a new car or boxes of holiday decorations, a sturdy garage door keeps everything in your garage safe from the elements and intruders. However, if you live in high-wind or hurricane-prone regions such as South Florida, a standard garage door can quickly become a liability. In high winds, unreinforced garage doors can be torn away, threatening the integrity of your home and leading to a host of more severe damages. Fortunately, hurricane resistant garage doors are an efficient solution. Buying a new garage door is the best solution for most property owners, and the peace of mind gained by protecting your family can help justify the cost. Your garage door is a big investment, but it can seem like a drop in the bucket if your home sustains considerable damage that could have been lessened or even prevented with a hurricane resistant garage door. Built for durability and strength, these doors will outlast standard garage doors and give you property and belongings long-term protection, during and after hurricane season. Able to withstand winds up to 175 miles per hour and small missile impact, our hurricane zone doors are built to last, even in extreme environments. With heavy duty reinforced hinges and aluminum slats, these hurricane rated doors can stand up to wind loads produced during most hurricanes. Insurance companies sometimes give discounts for garage doors and other exterior building products that exceed the local building code, including meeting wind-borne debris requirements not mandated. This means that installing a new garage door with the large missile impact rating may reduce your insurance premiums. If your facilities are within a hurricane zone, consider these doors for maximum protection.

In the past, hurricane wind rated doors were built in a way that required you to install beams and supports every time a hurricane or tropical storm occurred and then remove them to use the door again. New hurricane rated doors have adequate support structures designed into the door, which can resist both positive and negative pressures created by a hurricane or other wind related events. Positive pressure occurs when the wind is blowing against your door, and negative pressure is when the wind acts in such a way as to pull or suck your door outwards. WindCodes have a range from W-1 for a one or a two story structure that can withstand winds up to 90mph, a design pressure minimum of 12 pounds per square foot (PSF) and a test pressure of 19 PSF to a W-9 for a two story structure that can withstand winds at 150 mph winds, a design pressure of 54 PSF and a test pressure of 81 PSF. Although the strength of garage doors is a significant concern in high wind conditions, many people simply are not aware of the need for reinforced garage doors. To meet an increased demand and inquiries, Best Rolling Manufacturer offers hurricane rated doors in many sizes, materials and options. Our doors are specifically manufactured that when installed correctly, all wind loads are transferred to the door guides and in turn to the building walls. It is a combination of dead load (total door hang weight) and live load (wind pressure forces) that make up what the doors need to be engineered to.

Is your facility one-story or two-story? Does it face North, South, East or West? The direction of the wind and the orientation of your facility both affect whether your garage door experiences positive or negative wind load pressure. Wind load ratings are expressed in pounds per square foot. These ratings can be both positive and negative. That’s because most wind events generate both types of pressure. The direction of the wind and the orientation of your house both affect whether your garage door experiences positive or negative wind load pressure. Positive wind pressure is the wind load that tries to push the garage door into the house. Negative wind pressure is the wind load that tries to pull the garage door away from the house. Hurricane proof roll up garage doors can be built to withstand more than 50 pounds per square inch of positive or negative pressure. This level of pressure is usually associated with large hurricanes, and it may be more than your jurisdiction requires. Hurricane rated doors are engineered to withstand extremely high winds and have advanced features that lock the doors in its guides to prevent failure. Manufactured from high strength galvanized steel, hurricane proof doors roll up to store in a coil above building openings. How wind resistant your garage doors needs to be depends on where you live. The best way to find out is to contact your local building department to ask about building codes governing garage doors. Many locations have special building codes requiring wind resistant garage doors that can withstand minimum amounts of wind.

Wind resistant garage doors are the most convenient way to storm proof your garage door. Once installed, they required no additional setup from you – the homeowner – during a storm. Because they’re always in place, you won’t need to waste time setting up panels before storms. We consider wind rated storm doors a storm-ready solution. By contrast add-on solutions require a homeowner to install something before each storm strikes. Because garage doors are so large, pressure from hurricane activity or high winds can cause garage doors to detach from their tracks or even collapse. If your door fails, then damaging, life-threatening winds can enter, blowing out doors, windows, walls and the roof. Couple this with exterior debris, such as signs, roofing material and siding, and lives could be jeopardized. You need to determine your exposure region. South Florida has three categories of exposure regions. Exposure B is urban and suburban areas, wooded spaces and other terrain containing many closely spaced obstructions. Exposure C refers to open terrain with obstructions scattered about in flat open ground grasslands. This classification includes all of Broward and Miami-Dade County, except as may be indicated in Exposure D. Exposure D includes all structures that are 600 feet of the ocean or any other large body of water that measures at least 5,000 feet across.
