Reinforced Garage Doors Help Protect Your Home in High Winds
The garage door plays a critical role in protecting your home if you live in a hurricane prone 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.
The adoption of the International Building Code (IBC) means wind load is no longer an issue exclusive to Florida and other hurricane hot spots.
States like Kansas, Missouri, Utah, Nevada and California also have wind reinforcement requirements for garage doors because of wind related to the terrain and weather in those regions.
