Garage doors protect homes in bad weather

Recent storms and tornadoes throughout the country have experts reminding people that having a new and sturdy garage door is one of the best ways to protect a home or business from bad weather and natural disasters.

A structural engineer at Texas Tech University’s Wind Engineering Research Center said that the most budget-friendly ways to keep a home or business safe is by protecting openings like garage doors, windows, and doors.  A strong garage door, like a windload door, will help protect your home from generating internal pressure during a storm with heavy winds.  When a home does not have a sturdy enough garage door and the door fails to hold up during a storm, pressure can increase and knock out walls and ceilings in the home.

Windload garage doors are engineered to protect buildings from high winds, such as those often experienced in storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
