Our ProStormShieldSM impact rated garage doors and door bracing systems are specifically manufactured to endure the pushing and pulling effects of hurricane-force winds. Protecting these major access points into homes and businesses can be very important in order to help maintain the integrity of the structure.
WHY PROTECT YOUR GARAGE DOOR?
--Federal Alliance For Safe Homes reports that 80% of residential hurricane wind damage is due to garage door damage or loss
--Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reports that the loss of the garage door was one of the four major causes of destruction and damage due to Hurricane Andrew
--American Red Cross reports that once the garage door fails, the full power of the hurricane enters the house, blowing off its roof and results in major damage to, if not complete destruction of, the home or business
--Greatest pressure is exerted at the corners of a building, which is where garage doors are located
--Garage doors are held in place only by their tracks, and the pushing and pulling of the storm winds can cause the door to be blown in or pulled out, letting the full power of the storm enter and attack your home's roof and walls
ProStormShieldSM Hurricane Protection Products provide additional protection against these major risks to your family and home.
