3 Must-Haves For Hurricane-Proof Designs

1- Durable Roofing:
A TPO membrane from provides strong resistance to tears, punctures, and impact damage. Installed over waterproof plywood sheathing, the white material also reflects sunlight to help keep the house cool.

2- Strong Framing:
Laminated veneer lumber (LVLs) featuring cross graining and engineered layers provides superior strength and less waste.

3- Impact-Resistant Windows & Doors:
Impact-resistant windows and sliding doors with laminated glass and durable frames provide protection against large and small airborne debris.


These three items are the most important items in planning for the best Hurricane-Proof dwelling.
