Is it worth boarding up windows for a hurricane?

• <div><p>If you don't have hurricane shutters or impact-resistant windows, boarding up windows before a hurricane is worth it. According to the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, protection is essential for all your home's entry points, including windows, doors, skylights, and garage doors. </p><p>When windows break, wind enters your home, creating enough pressure that could cause the weakest part of your to rupture. Often, the weakest part is the roof, which can "pop" off of a home in a hurricane. The simple act of boarding up your windows can protect the structural integrity of your house.</p></div>

Q: How does a bow window differ from a bay window?

• <div><p>The differences between a bay window versus a bow window involve the number of individual windows and the angle at which both windows extend from the home. A bow window has four to six individual windows that form a curve outside the exterior wall. A bay window usually has two small windows on the edges that angle outward from the exterior wall and a large window in the middle that&rsquo;s parallel to the home&rsquo;s exterior wall.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a hung window and an awning window?

• <div><p>The key difference between a hung window and an awning window is that hung windows (including single-hung and double-hung versions) slide vertically to open and close. In contrast, awning windows have a hinge at the top and open outward at an angle. You can use both types of windows throughout your home, but awning windows are best suited for kitchens and bathrooms. </p></div>

Q: How do different elements influence the cost of fixing window hardware?

• <div><p>Costs depend on hardware type, labor rates, and the extent of the repair.</p></div>

Q: Do egress windows open in or out?

• <div><p>Most modern egress windows installed in basements open outward into a window well, although some older homes have in-swing windows. Egress windows, like casement windows used in other parts of the home, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, may open inward, and these windows are often larger than outward-opening windows. </p></div>

The installer, Rolando, was very professional in putting our windows in. He certainly is an expertise at what he does. He repaired the sills when needed and made adjustments if that's what had to be done. At one point in the day we had a Florida afternoon downpour. We tried to have him come into...

I was quite happy with how clean, courteous and quiet the workers were. This is a multi-unit building and I did not want to disturb my neighbors. They also installed the windows from the outside of the building four stories up. This is the best way to install new windows and I was happy they...
