Wind Pressure Charts For Garage Doors & Large Openings

These charts are sold as engineered sealed documents for the selected Building Code. They assist in determining the required site components & cladding wind pressures to submit for a building permit. By identifying your site design conditions on the applicable chart, the results are then compared to the limiting design pressures of the product being installed to obtain your building permit.  Learn more on our design wind page.
