Why Protecting Your Home’s Openings Matters During a Hurricane

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.
