wind load testing
Carriage House Door Company underwent an extensive six-month testing process in 2006 to attain wind load certification, and again in 2018 to meet the “High Velocity Hurricane Zone” specifications of the Florida building codes. We are now certified, with a variety of overhead garage doors with or without impact glass tested and approved for high-wind coastal areas.
