A Guide To Storm-Resistant Homes
Storms are some of the most destructive forces that can easily shake the foundation of your house. It can be hard to recover from its aftereffects. NOAA has predicted that approximately 14 to 21 storms will hit the US this year. Among these, 6 to 10 could transform into a full-blown hurricane.
If such a storm hits your area, you can take cover in a tornado shelter to save your life. But you should still prepare your house before the storm season. The experts at US Safe Rooms have put together a guide to protect your home against the storm.

Install A Metal Roof
A metal roof is a must-have for homeowners living in a storm-prone area. With constant rainfall, storm, and hurricanes threatening to destroy the foundation of their house, a metal roof becomes a basic need.
Install Impact Windows
If you’re living in a storm-prone area, installing impact windows can be an important regulation. Impact windows are storm-resistant. They prevent high-speed winds, flying debris, and heavy rainfall from entering your house during a bad storm.
These windows have durable and resistant glass that doesn’t let environmental factors invade your house and destroy it.
Install Fiberglass Doors
Fiberglass impact-rated doors are better than wood doors when protecting your house during a storm. If high-speed winds can knock down your wooden doors, that may cause a serious problem for you since it’ll result in structural damage when the water from heavy rainfall floods your house.
Install Metal Garage Door
Lightweight garage doors are more susceptible to harsh and strong winds during the storm season. If it breaks down, the water will flood your garage and destroy everything, including equipment or your car.
