Good Doors :: DAB Residential Garage Doors
Door Model: Hurricane Master
Our Mission is Straight Forward
To continually develop innovative garage door systems that can better resist the effects of severe windstorms and impact from airborne debris.
After Hurricane Andrew, South Florida learned firsthand what airborne debris could do to a structure during extreme windstorms. We challenged ourselves to develop a better garage door system that would meet and exceed the stringent Florida Building Codes.
The result was the Hurricane Master™, the industry's first garage door system engineered with a structurally reinforced load-component concealed within the perimeter of each door section. This patented structural component transforms the door into a monolithic wind barrier that is better able to resist the effects of severe windstorms.
Door Construction
Impact Resistance Steel Skin:
All our door panels are manufactured from high strengh 24-gauge steel to protect against impact from airbone debris.
Hot-Dipped Galvanizing Process:
Prior to manufacturing, our door´s steel skin is sub-merged in a continuous molden zinc bath that completely galvanizes both sides of the steel panel to ensure against corrosion.
Baked-On Primed Undercoat Treatment:
A baked-on primed undercoat is next applied to both sides of the steel skin to increase the door's performance against corrosion and improve paint adhesion
Flexibe Baked-On Polyester Top Coat:
Finally, a flexible baked-on white or almond colored polyester top-coat is added to provide a third corrosion barried for years of maintenance-free performance.
Built-In Windload Resistance System in Each Door Section
Extensive independent testing confirms how DAB's Hurricane Master™ is able to withstand the intense pushing and pulling effects of extreme wind velocities from 90 MPH to over 150 MPH in both coastal and inland wind zones for the broadest wind coverage available.
Exclusive embedded structural reinforcement system allows for doors up to 16' wide to meet most building codes without additional reinforcement.
Embedded structural reinforcement systems eliminates conventional bulky reinforcement beams to maximize garage space while preventing the door from sagging and bowing.
Slender 2 1/4" u-bars can be easily added to meet and exceed the strictest wind codes.
Door widths are available in 2" increments up to 18'2" wide to cover a broad range of custom door openings.
* Wind load requirements for each door can differ from one site to another due to such things as door size, the door's location on the structure, and localized wind zones. For this reason, it is recommended for a local garage door professional, architect, or engineer to assess the necessary wind pressures for the given door opening.
