The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season was one of the most active and expensive on record, with damages totaling more than $80 billion. The 2022 hurricane season is predicted to be nearly as potent, with a strong possibility of damaging storms and costly repairs.
When hurricane season hits this year, will your auto dealership’s doors be ready for whatever comes their way? With specialized high-performance doors, you can be ready for hurricanes – and the water, damaging winds and flying debris that come with them.
Engineered to Withstand a Hurricane
Commercial doors that can withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris are essential to protecting your facility. If your overhead door is damaged, strong winds can cause a significant pressure increase inside the building, which can cause foundation damage and buckle walls. Wind-driven rain can also cause extensive damage.
Hurricane doors help keep rain and floodwaters out better than standard garage doors. Built for durability and strength, these high-performance doors will outlast standard garage doors and often hurricane shutters – and give your facility reliable protection throughout the year.
