Protecting Your Windows from Strong Winds
House windows are very vulnerable to damage caused by strong winds. Thus, it is necessary that you take some actions to protect your windows against the wind. Below are some ways that you can do it.

• Install permanent storm shutters in your windows, most especially if you know that your area is often to be visited by typhoons, hurricanes or tornadoes. But if you can't afford the expensive prices of permanent storm shutter, you can choose to use plywood coverings as alternatives. However, sheets of plywood are not as strong as permanent shutters. Moreover, plywood coverings, along with other temporary window protections are hard and very time-consuming to assemble and disassemble. Permanent storm shutters, on the other hand, are very convenient to close and open whenever necessary. Most window shutters are made up of translucent materials, so even if it closed, light still comes into your house.
• Be ready at all times. Don't start making your temporary plywood coverings when you just heard on the radio that there a typhoon, hurricane or tornado on the way. Plan and create your temporary window protection ahead of time.
• If you are incapable of building your own temporary window coverings on your own, just seek the service of a contractor that would do the job for you.
• Cut branches of trees that might fall to your windows as preparation for the upcoming typhoon, hurricane or tornado.
• If you have money, try to replace your windows with high-impact glass windows. These windows are made up of two panes of tempered glass with a plastic film in between. These windows could be customized to fit the sizes, shapes and designs of your former windows. Though these windows are impact-resistant, they are not water-resistant.
