Wind-Resistant Garage Doors
In a major windstorm, such as a hurricane or a tornado, it's the windows and doors
that usually hold a house together. “Once you breach the envelope, the air rushing in
pressurizes the building just like blowing up a balloon,” explains Scott Schiff, civil
engineering professor and director of Clemson University's Wind Load Test Facility.

It is estimated that approximately 80% of residential hurricane damage starts with wind
entry through weak garage doors.
Many homeowners do not think to protect their homes by having a properly rated
garage door installed. Most doors that were installed prior to 2002 do not meet
current building codes.
If your garage door fails during high winds there is a good chance that the wind
entering your home could also cause the roof to fail.
Contact us today for information about replacing your door with one that has at least
the minimum wind rating required for your location. We carry a wide variety of doors,
even doors that are rated for high impact. Our estimator will be happy to come out
and give you a free written estimate and explain your options.
