Window Basics - Protect Your Home From Hurricanes

Window Basics - Protect Your Home From Hurricanes

Hurricanes are unforgiving forces of nature. These storms can release as much energy as an atom bomb over a very short period of time. One area where many homes are susceptible to damage is the windows. Hurricanes can pick up debris and hurl them through non-impact resistant windows with ease. Nobody wants to be trapped in their home while a hurricane flings razor-sharp broken glass windows throughout their house. It would be much more preferable to have the safety and security that CGI Windows provide.

But before you can pick the perfect window for your home, you need to know some basic terms.

Casement windows swing open like a car door. This type of window offers your home superb ventilation; without the hassle of cumbersome rails that other windows rely upon.   

Fixed windows are just like they sound, windows that are fixed to the wall and can’t pivot. This variety of window is great for living, dining, and master bedrooms. A fixed window can offer a wide open look at the brilliant scenery and allow a lot of beautiful light into your home.

A designer fixed window is simply a more upscale version of a fixed window. These pieces deliver luxurious aesthetic pleasure to any room and pair well with almost any sort of interior design.  

A single hung window can open and close without taking up any unnecessary space in your home.

 

Horizontal rolling windows are like sliding glass doors. They feature a sliding mechanism which is a real eye-catcher.  This unique design allows you to quickly access hanging plants or just let a breeze in.

The information above is available on the CGI Window and Door Website. CGI is a respected window and door manufacturer.  The Window Professionals are proud to be associated with CGI Windows and Doors.
