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. Local wind load requirements for garage doors can vary depending on the size of the door, its location on the structure, and the local wind zone, among other factors. 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.
A garage door's lifespan can vary greatly depending on the material, quality of installation, maintenance, and local weather conditions. On average, a garage door can last between 15 to 30 years. Regular maintenance, such as lubrication and balance checks, can extend the door's lifespan.
The choice of a garage door should be guided by factors such as local regulations regarding wind-load requirements, the space available, the type of vehicles you own, and the overall design of your house. Following these factors will allow you to have an excellent investment to improve your home value, secure your family, and dramatically reduce your insurance costs.
