Garage doors are part of everyday life, serving as the most widely used point of entry into a home. Although these doors are large in size, they often do not provide the protection needed to safeguard a home from the high winds that accompany hurricanes. Should a garage door fail, the home will be vulnerable to the destructive storm, and will likely experience water damage, broken windows and doors, and damage to the roof as winds rip through the structure. A reinforced garage door is the best protection against such damage.
Overhead Door Corporation is pleased to announce the availability of several collections of garage doors, which offer hurricane resistance and the quality that is associated with the Overhead Door name. In addition, Overhead Door offers an impact-resistant window system, which helps to further defend your home. Hurricane-resistant Overhead Door products are available to meet the needs of families at a myriad of price points.
The Traditional Steel collection of doors offers Series 281 and Series 381 which deliver Overhead Door's legendary performance and durability at affordable prices. Thermacore Series 190 and Series 490 premier steel insulated garage door products provide exceptional thermal efficiency and outstanding strength and durability.
The Courtyard Collection Series 160 gives homeowners the superior good looks of a custom wood garage door combined with the value and long lasting durability of an insulated steel door. For those seeking a windload rated door, which is not only long-lasting and beautiful, but also environmentally friendly, the EcoBuilt Verde Collection is a perfect choice.
Many of Overhead Door’s hurricane-resistant garage doors are rated for large-missile impact-resistance and will qualify homeowners for valuable discounts commonly provided through insurance agencies. A few such qualifying programs include FLASH, My Safe Florida Home, and IBHS: Fortified...for safer living. When combined with reduced maintenance costs and increased product longevity, these discounts make owning an Overhead Door a true value.
Daniel Christian, product manager at Overhead Door explains, “These doors were tested for impact resistance and were shown to meet the requirements of many of the nation’s most stringent testing protocols. We are happy to announce that these doors are approved for use outside the Florida High Velocity Hurricane Zone and that continued testing is anticipated to further the strength of our product offering. When considering the purchase of a hurricane-resistant garage door, consumers now have the option of selecting from a wide range of doors, styles, and prices. Overhead Door is happy to help put the customer back in control of their homes.”
