Why Hurricane Rated Garage Doors are Important

Hurricane season spans from May to November - a long time for possible damage to your property to occur. Ordinary overhead doors can fail - allowing rain and debris into your building and causing even greater damage.

How are high-performance doors different:

  • Heavy-duty reinforced hinge system

  • Double-walled insulated 6-inch aluminum slats

  • Integral rubber weatherseals provide a tight seal
