Brace Yourself, Punta Gorda: Hurricane Season is Almost Here!

For many Punta Gorda residents, hurricane season is a familiar foe. While we may be known for our sunny skies,  it's important to be prepared for the occasional tropical storm or hurricane. At Tradewind Doors, we believe a crucial part of hurricane preparedness is having a strong, reliable garage door.

Why Invest in a Hurricane-Resistant Garage Door?

Your garage door acts as a giant gateway to your home. During a hurricane, ferocious winds and flying debris can turn an ordinary door into a major liability. Here's why a hurricane-resistant garage door is essential for Florida homes:

• Durability: Built to withstand extreme wind pressure, these doors are constructed with heavy-duty materials like reinforced aluminum or steel.
• Impact Resistance: Designed to absorb the impact of flying objects, they help safeguard your vehicles, belongings, and the interior of your garage from storm damage.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing your garage door is up to the challenge of a hurricane offers invaluable peace of mind during a storm. You can focus on keeping your family safe, rather than worrying about potential damage.

Additional Protective Features of Hurricane-Resistant Garage Doors:

• Reinforced Tracks and Hardware: The tracks that your door rolls on, and the accompanying hardware, are designed to handle the additional stress of high winds.
• Wind Load Rating: Look for a door with a wind load rating that meets or exceeds Miami-Dade County building code requirements. This ensures the door can withstand the specific wind pressures experienced in our region.
• Multiple Layers of Protection: Many hurricane-resistant doors have multiple layers of steel or aluminum sheeting, providing extra strength and impact resistance.
