ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems is pleased to announce that the TKO VertiCool® Door with Wind Load Package has received the Notice of Approval from Miami-Dade County for High Velocity Hurricane Zones. The TKO VertiCool door from ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems is designed to work in conjunction with a vertical storing dock leveler. While the primary benefit of the TKO VertiCool is energy efficiency, facilities along the coastline and some inland areas have additional concerns – hurricane force winds and tropical storms.

In order to acquire the hurricane zone approval the TKO VertiCool door underwent a series of stringent tests to ensure it withstands pressures of +52 and -52 pounds per square foot, enough to remain intact through straight-line winds and hurricanes.

When compared to a standard sectional door or a 4” thick vertical rise cooler door, the TKO VertiCool gives you the best of both types; more energy efficient than a standard sectional door and more cost effective than a 4” thick vertical rise cooler door.

Highlights of the TKO VertiCool door with wind load package include:

• Heavy-duty, full opening-height, patent-pending polymer thermal break track with
  12  gauge galvanized steel guides
• Polymer track wrapped with energy reflective foil fabric
• 4” thick closed cell XEPS foam panel provides R-23 for superior thermal protection
• 48” high panels reduce the number of panel joints by 50% in comparison to industry standard 24” high panels. Fewer panel joints ensure a better sealing door
• Dual compression side seals are mounted to the door panel and removed from the impact zone when door is open, preventing seals from sustaining damage
