Wind Loaded Garage Doors

Your garage houses your car and possessions and is an access point to your home. However, during a hurricane or other fierce storm, you garage door is one of the most vulnerable areas of your home. If you live along a hurricane-prone coastline or an area that is often affected by other severe storms, protect your home with a wind loaded/hurricane resistant garage door from Precision Overhead Garage Door Service of Virginia Beach, VA.

Advantages of Our Hurricane Resistant Garage Doors

If your garage door fails during a storm – due to lightweight materials folding under the pressure from high winds – it will create a wide opening into your home. The increased air pressure from the hurricane can then build in your home and possibly cause the roof to rip off and/or severely damage the rest of your home.

Many wind loaded/hurricane resistant garage doors undergo testing to ensure they will withstand the forces of a violent storm. Utilizing reinforced struts made from high tensile steel, some wind loaded garage doors have been tested at Category 4 hurricane wind speeds (of up to 150 miles per hour). There are even hurricane resistant doors we offer at Precision Door Service of Virginia Beach that also undergo impact testing using a 2x4 wooden stud fired from a canon to simulate flying debris. This testing helps ensure that the garage door can stand up to even the most severe weather conditions.

If you are unable to purchase a new wind loaded garage door, our skilled technicians can come to your Hampton Roads home and retrofit current doors. Protect your family, home, and belongings with a hurricane resistant garage door.
