Hurricane/Wind-Rated Doors are designed for commercial and industrial properties located in areas where hurricanes, tropical storms, and high-wind events can create serious structural and operational risks.
These doors use reinforced construction, heavy-duty hardware, stronger tracks and components, and application-specific wind-load engineering to help the door withstand the pressures associated with severe weather. Depending on the door system and project requirements, options may include impact-resistant glazing, insulated panels, reinforced sections, rolling steel construction, or high-performance door systems.
For properties in hurricane-prone regions, selecting the correct wind-rated door is not simply about choosing a stronger-looking door. The required performance depends on factors such as wind speed, building location, exposure, opening size, building height, and applicable local building codes.
We help property owners and contractors identify a door configuration appropriate for the opening and application, followed by professional measurement, installation, and adjustment.
Available options may include:
- High Wind-Load Reinforcement
Reinforced door sections, tracks, hardware, and structural components for demanding wind conditions.
- Impact-Resistant Glazing
Available glazing configurations designed for applications where wind-borne debris resistance is required.
- Insulated Door Construction
Insulated sectional options can improve thermal performance while providing a strong commercial door assembly.
- Commercial Sectional Doors
Heavy-duty sectional configurations for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, service buildings, and other commercial applications.
- Rolling Steel & High-Performance Doors
Compact vertical-opening solutions for facilities requiring durability, security, and efficient use of wall space.
- Miami-Dade / Florida Code Options
Certain commercial wind-load systems are available with approvals or certifications for demanding Florida applications.
- Custom Wind-Load Configurations
Door reinforcement and specifications can be selected according to the opening, building conditions, and required wind performance.
- Motorized Operation
Automatic operators and high-cycle options can be configured for commercial facilities with frequent door usage.
