By understanding the architect/contractor to door supplier/manufacturer relationship, we can recommend the best door solution.
Architect to Door Supplier Relationship
Information required from the architect, builder or contractor to pick the proper wind load door:
- Door size
- Jamb type
- Opening clearance details
- Design pressure requirements (PSF ±), not wind speed
- Impact resistance (Yes or No)
Information provided by the manufacturer:
- Door models that meet specified requirements
- Structural load data from the wind load drawing
Specifications are typically listed on the building specification page. The structural engineer outlines all of the wind load factors and pressure loads for each building component, including the doors, on the structural specification page.
