Hurricane Prep 101: Impact-Resistant New Jersey Window Replacement

The Atlantic hurricane season is once again upon us, turning our thoughts to ways we can protect our coastal homes from Mother Nature’s wrath! Windows are one of the biggest causes of damage to homes and other buildings during tropical storm season. If your windows are not properly protected, we highly recommend you invest in some form of protection. Wind-borne debris can shatter windows and leave your home’s interior completely vulnerable to wind and rain. Wind can even enter through cracks or small holes around the window frame, and built-up air pressure inside the window frame can blow out windows and walls.

There are two ways to protect your home from these devastating scenarios. Installing custom-made plywood covers or storm shutters over all windows, skylights and doors with glass is the least expensive approach. If you have the budget for New Jersey window replacement, we strongly recommend you invest in the installation of impact-resistant windows from Harvey Building Products.

Harvey Vigilance impact-resistant windows were designed with rigorous coastal building codes in mind.
