Melbourne, Florida is located on the eastern coast of the state and is susceptible to hurricanes. The city falls within the hurricane-prone region of Florida and is at risk of being affected by tropical storms and hurricanes that form in the Atlantic Ocean. While the frequency and severity of hurricanes can vary from year to year, Melbourne has experienced the impacts of hurricanes in the past.Notable hurricanes that have affected the region include Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Jeanne in 2004. It is important for residents in the area to stay informed about hurricane preparedness. Furthermore they need to follow guidance from local authorities and be ready for potential hurricane events.One of the things residents of Melbourne need to be aware of is the potential of damage to their home via their garage door. Having a large surface area can be a liability as winds can exceed 160MPH. That's why the state of Florida requires Melbourne residential homes to have W4, W5 and W6 Rated doors. However this depends on how close you are to the ocean. This means that the garage door needs to sustain up to 140, 150 and 160MPH winds. These wind speeds are super fast!The hurricane rated garage doors sold and installed by Quality Garage Door Services are extremely strong. Moreover we do all installation with great care.
