Commercial Doors With WindStorm™ Options

Overhead Door™ WindStorm™ Systems

WindStorm™ is the premier line of insulated sectional steel doors available today. It is an ideal choice for applications that demand the highest levels of thermal efficiency, air infiltration and wind load resistance. The WindStorm™ sectional door model 515 and model 525 are engineered to withstand higher design pressure than our other WindStorm™ models.

Overhead Door™ Sectional Steel Systems

Our comprehensive line of sectional steel and insulated steel doors encompasses one of the industry’s most-complete selections of panel profiles, gauges, track styles and hardware for commercial sectional door systems.

Overhead Door™ Rolling Service Systems

The breadth of Overhead Door’s rolling service doors ensures that your project specifications will be met with ease and style. We offer wind load options, in addition to the industry’s widest array of slat profiles, curtain materials, and colors.

Fire Door Systems

We offer a wide array of fire-rated rolling steel doors to meet demanding fire safety standards, unusual opening sizes, wind load and discerning aesthetic requirements.

In order to provide the correct door solution, we need to understand the Architect/Contractor to Door Supplier/Manufacturer Relationship.

Architect to Door Supplier Relationship

What information must be supplied about door from the architect/builder/contractor to pick the proper wind load door?

Size
Jamb type
Opening clearance information
Design pressure requirement (PSF +/-), not wind speed
Impact required? Yes or No

What the manufacturer gives to the architect/builder/contractor:

Door that meets specifications
Loads the door will place on the structure; shown on the wind load drawing

Specifications can often times be found on the Building Specification Page. On the structural specification page for a building, the structural engineer lists all of the wind load factors, as well as the pressure loads for the different parts of the structure, including the doors.
