Hurricane doors are high-impact resistant doors that can withstand a pressure of up to 80 millimeters of mercury.We take closer look at some of the most frequently asked questions posed by existing users and potential customers. http://www.prostormprotection.com/impact-front-doors

1. 4 commonly asked questions related
to Hurricane Doors

2. Hurricane doors are time-tested
and approved by ASTM
Regulations. They are mostly
used in parts of Northern
America which face perennial
bout of hurricanes, hailstorms
and tornadoes. Hurricane doors
are high-impact resistant doors
that can withstand a pressure of
up to 80 millimetres of mercury.

3. Q1 Can Hurricane doors be installed at higher
elevations?
Hurricane doors can
withstand wind blowing at
high speeds. It can resist
high pressure belts and can
be installed with relative
ease than conventional
doors. It can be fixed at a
height of 30 feet in the air or
even higher in places where
the pressure is lower. It
need not meet any design
configuration.

4. Q2 Are all hurricane doors available in the market
fully impact-resistant products?Hurricane doors necessarily
have to meet the testing
regulations set by ASTM. To
be considered as a part of
the impact-resistant products,
Hurricane doors are made to
pass through a stringent lab
testing condition under the
Florida Building Code. With
increasing instances of
hurricanes and storms hitting
the main land of America,
disaster management team
stick to only top-class
segment of hurricane doors.

5. Q3 As per NOA terms, what are different types of Hurricane
doors?
NOA certifies two types of Hurricane doors. They are:
Large missile-tested doors
Small missile-tested doors
Doors tested with large missile guns have to face a six-foot canon with 9-pound
2 by 4 lumber shot at the door sample with speed of 50 feet per second.
Doors tested with the small missile guns have to face a six-foot canon with 9-
pound 2 by 4 lumber shot at the door sample with speed of 50 feet per second.

6. Q4 Does NOA perform the Wind load calculations for the
Hurricane doors?
Yes. Authorities offer NOA Certification only after
accurately performing the wind load calculations under
practical hurricane conditions. Wind load calculations
account for the pressure exerted on the door structure and
the frame components by blowing wind. It is tested for
garage doors, entry doors as well windows. The wind load
pressures are calibrated and marked on the door sample
in positive and negative values. The dual number system
bears the wind load acting on and away from the building.
