WINDOWS:

Replace your old windows for dual-pane, tempered glass:

This will provide significant wildfire protection against flames and wind-blown embers.

These windows have the added benefits of greater energy conservation and insulation during cooler and warmer months.

Tempered glass is about four times more resistant to breaking during a wildfire. Remember, even dual-pane, tempered glass windows will not protect your house if they are left open. Close all windows before you evacuate during a wildfire.

GARAGE AND REGULAR DOORS:

During a wildfire, all doors can present a significant vulnerability as embers and intense heat can compromise their integrity, allowing flames to enter homes.

To address this risk, it is essential to install fire-resistant doors designed to withstand the extreme conditions associated with wildfires.

We install doors made from materials such as metal or solid-core wood, which have a higher resistance to ignition. We also ensure that doors are equipped with weather stripping to minimize gaps and seal any potential entry points for the best ember defense.

SIDING:

Siding, if not appropriately chosen, can pose a significant fire risk during a wildfire. Combustible siding materials may ignite when exposed to embers or radiant heat, contributing to the rapid spread of flames to the interior of a home.

To enhance the safety of your property, we can install ignition-resistant or fire-resistant siding materials. Options like fiber cement, stucco, or metal siding are designed to withstand the intense heat of wildfires, reducing the likelihood of ignition.
