Re: Garage Doors?

Subject: Re: Garage Doors?

I have been doing a little research today, and although the fiberglass door to me seems great especially here where I live, but I also read that they are not very good for high wind areas, and that some building codes don't allow them in some areas where wind is a known problem. I have no clue about my area codes, but I do know we get very high winds off the Chesapeake Bay often.

Insulated Steel is looking more like what I will need here. I just thought the fiberglass, like Tommy said, would be lighter thus easier on the opener. However you are correct that the spring handles that issue.

It looks like a couple grand installed for dual doors, plus I want an extra panel on one side so I can go extra high for a future lift.
