Garage Doors in Delaware

Delaware's Sussex County, home to the beach communities around Rehoboth, Dewey, and Bethany, sets design wind speeds for new construction that range from 105 mph inland to as high as 140 mph along the coast, depending on the property's location and risk category, according to the county's building code office. A garage door is one of the largest openings on most homes and, unlike a window or an entry door, it isn't reinforced on its own — the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America program treats garage doors as pressure-rated components for exactly that reason, since a door that fails under wind pressure lets a storm pressurize the whole garage and push outward on the roof and walls behind it. For homes near Delaware's coast, especially older construction built before current wind-speed tables were adopted, that makes the garage door a meaningful gap in storm readiness even when the roof and windows have already been upgraded.
