Building code officials, builders, insurance companies and homeowners are increasingly aware of the need for structures to withstand high winds resulting from hurricanes, tropical storms and other weather related events.
With the introduction and adoption of the International Building Code in most areas of the U.S., wind load is no longer an issue exclusively in Florida and other hurricane prone areas. Clopay has developed a unique WindCode® ID program to help you select the right door. It includes factors like local building code, MPH requirements and mean roof height.
If you are a consumer interested in tough, wind code-compliant garage doors, ask your Clopay Pro-Series dealer or Clopay retailing home center for assistance in selecting a door appropriate for your area.
