Wayne-Dalton Wind Load Doors Features

Safety Levels

Wayne-Dalton has developed the WindSafe Safety Level system to aid you in determining the wind pressure needed. These tables are based on typical applications. While these are a guideline, they are not intended to cover all situations. Please contact your local building official or a registered architect or structural engineer for the specific requirements in your area. Ultimately, the engineer on record for the structure should provide the wind pressure requirements for all openings.

Wind speed maps

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has developed standards covering wind loads on buildings and other structures. This is the base standard for most wind provisions used in U.S. building codes. The basic wind speed maps from ASCE7-02 can help an individual to determine the proper wind speed delineation zones for their area. Other maps are also avaiable for the Atlantic coast and gulf coast. In addition, some states provide a listing of wind speed maps by county. For the specific requirements for your area, contact your local building official.
