Hurricane season is upon us, and with it comes the potential for major damage to homes and businesses in coastal areas. In preparation for the worst, many people are wondering how to protect their Windows from wind and water damage. Here are some tips:
- Make sure your windows are properly sealed. This means using weather stripping or caulking around the edges of the window panes, as well as between the panes and the frame of the window.
- Install storm shutters on your windows if you live in an area that is prone to severe weather. Storm shutters are a type of window cover that can be closed during strong winds or rain, protecting your windows from damage.
- If you have glass doors or windows that open into the outdoors, make sure they are properly secured against wind and rain damage by installing awnings or roofing systems that can be closed during bad weather conditions.
- If you have electronic security systems such as video surveillance or home alarm systems, make sure they are turned off during hurricane season so they will not interfere with emergency responders if needed. ..
