When the Winds Howl, Be Ready with Elite Hurricane Protection

Florida's Fiercest Force:

How to Prepare Your Home for Hurricane Winds

Elite Hurricane Home Protection Has You Covered. When a hurricane strikes, the headlines may talk about flooding—but for most Florida homeowners, it’s the wind that does the most damage. From shattered windows to ripped-off roofs, high-speed hurricane winds can destroy a home in minutes if it’s not properly protected.

The Real Threat: Wind Damage in a Hurricane

Winds in a major hurricane can exceed 150 mph. That kind of force can:

Launch debris through windows and doors
Rip shingles, siding, and gutters right off your home
Blow out garage doors and break open entry points
Create internal pressure that lifts your roof completely off

The good news? Much of this damage is preventable—with the right protection in place.

Why Protecting Your Home’s Openings Matters During a Hurricane

April 15, 2025

When a hurricane approaches, your home’s biggest vulnerabilities aren’t just its roof or walls—it’s the openings. Large, exposed areas like lanais, patios, sliding doors, and garages are common entry points for wind, rain, and flying debris. Without proper protection, these areas can quickly turn into major sources of damage. How Hurricanes Exploit Unprotected Openings Wind Pressure Buildup When wind enters your home, it creates internal pressure that can lift roofs and push walls outward. This kind of structural damage often starts with a single breach at an entry point. Debris Impact During a storm, everyday objects become high-speed projectiles. Without impact-resistant barriers, windows and enclosures are easily shattered, leaving your home exposed. Water Intrusion Heavy rains driven by wind can force water into cracks and seams, leading to flooding, interior damage, and long-term mold issues. How Elite Hurricane Home Protection Can Help Accordion Shutters Our durable accordion shutters offer strong protection for lanais, patios, and balconies.
