How garage door manufacturers describe wind-load products
A side-by-side paraphrase of what nine manufacturers' official pages say about wind-load products, and what none of them can tell you about your opening.
What is not established
- No manufacturer statement establishes a rated design pressure, approval match or impact rating for a specific quoted door.
- Overhead Door and Wayne Dalton product pages could not be read during the research and are not represented.
- Statements can change; verify the current official page.
| Attribute | Statement on the official page (paraphrased) | Florida named on the page | Design pressure for your opening |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clopay | WindCode W ratings matched to a design pressure from local wind speed, exposure and building type; a Florida page says door design pressure must equal or exceed the opening's | yes | unknown |
| Amarr | WindPro ratings keyed to ASCE 7 wind-speed ranges, with impact variants; code compliance placed with homeowner, builder and dealer | no | unknown |
| C.H.I. Overhead Doors | Wind-load products offered; states no Miami-Dade certification is currently held; a document finder filters by state | yes, as a document-finder filter | unknown |
| Raynor | Hurricane Ready doors stated as tested and approved under the Florida Building Code, the Miami-Dade code and Texas Department of Insurance standards | yes | unknown |
| Haas Door | Required design pressure depends on risk category, wind speed, exposure and roof height; links a Florida brochure and the Florida Product Approval site | yes | unknown |
| Garaga | Reinforcement in several sizes and pressure ratings stated to meet Florida Building Code, Texas TDI and IBC requirements | yes | unknown |
| Windsor Door | General high-wind-load claim only | no | unknown |
| Midland Garage Door | WindGuard doors tested to ANSI/DASMA 108-2017 and labelled to a stated pressure | no | unknown |
| Hörmann | unavailable | no | unknown |
Hörmann's residential pages checked in the research carried no wind-load statement, shown here as unavailable. A statement that a door is approved or rated is a manufacturer claim until the exact assembly is matched to a Florida approval record and to the pressures the building department requires.
Original paraphrase of manufacturer statements recorded in the channel research, set against DASMA TDS 168. These are business claims, not specifications or approvals.
