Garage doors need to be reinforced in high-wind conditions, but many people are unaware of this fact. These doors are often referred to as Wind Load Rated, Storm/Hurricane Rated, or simply Wind Rated. As the homeowner, you are responsible for choosing the appropriate wind load product to meet or exceed your local building code, with the help of your builder and garage door dealer.

Homeowners are responsible for making sure their garage doors meet local building codes. Our hurricane garage doors are the best way to protect your property from the most severe weather conditions.
