Commercial Wind Load Doors

Protecting your property is one of our core values. When you add wind load options to your commercial or industrial overhead door, you also get peace of mind during times of high winds from hurricanes and extreme conditions.​

Talk to your local Ribbon Distributor about your needs or for suggestions about a wind resistant door that offers the highest level of protection in your geographic region.

​​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. ​​​
