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: Should I use caulk or silicone around windows?

• <div><p>Use a high-quality caulk with silicone around your windows, as it&rsquo;s waterproof and shrink-proof. Or, you can use a caulk consisting of polyurethane or acrylic if you want to be able to paint over it. Caulk made from silicone is not paintable. Avoid using inexpensive caulk that has a resin or oil base. These caulks will not last long and may shrink and pull away from the window as temperatures go up and down.</p></div>

Q: What types of windows are available?

• <div><p>Options include double-hung, casement, and sliding windows. Materials include wood, vinyl, and aluminum.</p></div>

Q: How much difference do low-E windows make?

• <div><p>According to the <a href="https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/window-types-and-technologies">U.S. Department of Energy</a>, low-E windows can reduce energy loss by 30% to 50%. But the actual effect of low-E windows in your home will depend on many factors, like climate, number of windows, window treatments, and more. In terms of aesthetics, you may or may not notice a difference in how your windows look or how much natural light shines through. But overall, low-E windows look very similar to traditional windows. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right window type for my climate?

• <div><p>If you live in a colder region, consider installing double- or triple-pane windows with low-E coatings, which can trap heat and keep your house warm. In hot areas, windows with reflective coatings and insulated frames help keep cooling costs down. If you experience a lot of extreme weather, then impact-resistant glass might be a worthwhile investment. </p></div>

Had to reschedule twice because of some very welcome rain, but they did their best to make it happen as quickly as possible. Installation crew was courteous, professional, and stayed focused on the job. Everything was cleaned up before they left. The window looks great!
