I have heard the term partially enclosed structure. What does that mean and do Wayne-Dalton doors meet the requirements for a partially enclosed structure?
Partially enclosed structures are structures that are assumed to have a certain percentage of openings (such as broken windows) during a storm event. Under this assumption, the pressure inside a structure increases dramatically. This causes an increase in the design pressures on exterior walls as well. Wayne-Dalton doors do meet these requirements, but the required design pressures for a partially enclosed structure are substantially higher than for an enclosed structure. Note that the WindSafe Safety Level tables are not applicable to partially enclosed structures.
