Houston is notorious for some of the most severe storms in Texas. Whether it’s a routine spring thunderstorm or a full-blown tropical storm—you need the storm windows that will protect your family. Being so close to the Gulf of Mexico, a hotbed of hurricane activity, we get a lot of tropical storms through here. Therefore, many Houston area homes are located in specific “Hurricane Zones.” These areas, designated by the Texas Department of Insurance, come with specific building codes for homes.
One of those codes deals with the requirement of specific building products designed to withstand hurricane-level winds. Naturally, one of the requirements deals with windows.
