In regions prone to fierce storms and powerful winds, a strong, reliable, and wind-rated garage door is essential to safeguarding your property. Centurion Garage Doors has designed a range of wind-rated garage doors specifically engineered to withstand Australia’s most extreme weather conditions. With the WindShield® Roller Door, Wind-Rated Sectional Door, and our cutting-edge C2V2 Cyclonic Garage Door, Centurion offers robust, innovative solutions that provide peace of mind during storm season. Let’s explore each of these wind-rated garage doors in detail to understand how they can protect your home or business.
1. WindShield® Roller Doors: Safety, Innovation, and Simplicity
Centurion’s WindShield® Roller Doors have been developed to provide an economical wind rated roller door for both cyclonic and non-cyclonic regions. Designed and tested in-house, the WindShield® Roller Door range meets National Construction Code (NCC) Regulations (AS/NZ 1170.2:2021 Amdt 1), ensuring reliable performance in cyclonic and non-cyclonic regions across Australia. Available nationally through Centurion and with options tailored to various wind classifications, this range combines durability and security, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution to protect your property against extreme wind and weather.
Key Features of WindShield® Roller Doors:
Track Guide Options: The WindShield® series includes multiple track options. Made from an incredibly strong high performance grade aluminium, the tracks for our WindShield® 90-1 & 90-2 and 130-6 range are reinforced to prevent the door from being blown out of alignment during high winds.
WindShield® Clips: Depending on the application and type of WindShield® RollerDoor, it can be equipped with WindShield® clips to provide enhanced security against strong winds.
2. Wind-Rated Sectional Door: Elegant Design with Unmatched Protection
Centurion’s Wind-Rated Sectional Door, available on the East Coast, is designed to protect homes in areas that may not experience cyclonic conditions but still require wind rating due to extreme weather. Built to withstand high winds, these wind-rated garage doors offer the same design versatility and aesthetic appeal as our standard sectional range, ensuring strength without compromising style.
3. C2V2 Garage Door: The Ultimate in Cyclonic Protection for Sectional Garage Doors
For properties in cyclone-prone areas, the C2V2 Cyclonic Garage Door is Centurion’s flagship solution, engineered specifically to withstand harsh weather, up to C2 conditions. Made with advanced lightweight materials, the C2V2door provides exceptional strength without the excessive weight typical of traditional cyclone-rated doors. This unique design is suitable for openings up to 3000mm high and 5500mm wide and not only enhances the façade of your home but also provides the strength and resilience needed to withstand challenging weather conditions. Available exclusively on the East Coast, the C2V2 ensures reliable protection and style for properties in demanding environments.
Outstanding Features of the C2V2 Cyclonic Garage Door:
- High-Tenancy Polyester Belt System: This patent-pending system retains the panel from separation. It runs the full width of each panel and is connected to the door rollers. During cyclonic winds, as the door flexes under wind pressure, the belt system creates a secure connection between the door and the building, preventing panel separation and ensuring maximum protection.
- Wind Locking Disc: The C2V2 roller features a built-in wind-locking disc that secures the roller into the heavy-duty track retainer. This design prevents the door from coming out of the tracks during cyclonic winds, ensuring maximum protection.
- Wind Lock Style Retainer: Our design includes a windlock style retainer for the top panel and roller.
- Track Retainer: This patent-pending track retainer is manufactured from heavy duty aluminium extrusion, offering strength and durability.
