It's Here ... Hurricane Season 2021

Haas Door • June 18, 2021

Big, bad and ugly. Hurricane Season 2020 will be remembered for surpassing alphabet names due to so many storms. Now we’re ready to start another hurricane season, starting with Ana, Bill and Claudette. Will we get as far as Victor and Wanda?


Don’t Let Your Home be Vulnerable

As past hurricane seasons have proven, you don’t need to live directly on the coast to be impacted by the strong winds and rain associated with a hurricane. You can be hundreds of miles inland and still feel the effects of a hurricane. 


It’s important to remember that the four most vulnerable areas of a home during a hurricane are the roof, windows, entry door and garage door. If one of these major structural areas is compromised, then rain, wind and flying debris can enter the entire home.


If you’re in a geographical area that can possibly be impacted by hurricanes, then now is the time to act. First, have a professional garage door installer inspect your current garage door and determine if it can handle potentially strong storms. And second, consider the value (and peace-of-mind) of replacing your garage door with a newer version made to take on Mother Nature.


Texas-Strong Garage Doors

Homeowners ready to invest in a new garage door have several rock-solid options from Haas Door.


If you live in Texas, depending on door width, exposure, risk category, and design pressure, Haas Door now offers Texas TDI Wind Load Garage Doors in the following product lines: 600, 700, 800 and 2000 Series insulated steel doors; 5700 and 5200 Series insulated aluminum doors; Ribbed Steel, 2400 and 2500 Steel Series; and the American Tradition Series. In addition, doors in the Residential Aluminum 360 Series and Commercial Aluminum 320 Series are also available. 


Some Haas Door garage doors, depending on intended installation location, may include glazing with glass. Impact resistant polycarbonate glazing features are available for garage doors in potentially severe areas. 


Handling Strong Winds

For homeowners living in other parts of the south and southeast, impact glazing options are available in Haas Door insulated door lines, including 2000, 5000, 700, 600, and American Tradition Series of garage doors. Five impact glazing color options include Clear with UV rating, Dark Gray, Frosted, Bronze and Pebble. The colors enhance curb appeal and meet current color trends for homes and buildings, even in impact required zones. 


With the expanded color glazing offering, homeowners can now order Haas garage doors with windows in a variety of designer configurations to complement the exterior of a home or structure.

Hurricane Season Readiness: How Your Garage Door Can Make or Break Home Protection

By Haas Door • July 31, 2025
As hurricane season ramps up, homeowners across the Gulf Coast, Atlantic states and beyond are checking emergency kits, trimming trees and securing loose outdoor items. But one of the most important — and most overlooked — steps in hurricane prep starts with your garage. At Haas Door, we know that your garage door isn’t just about curb appeal. It’s a vital barrier that protects your home from wind, water and debris. And in high-wind events like hurricanes, it can be a first line of defense in protecting your home. Why Your Garage Door Matters in a Storm A compromised garage door can cause catastrophic damage. According to FEMA, garage door failure is one of the leading causes of structural damage during hurricanes. Once the door is breached, wind pressure can build inside your home, lifting the roof and blowing out walls.
