Building Hurricane-Resistant Homes
When it comes to living in the Florida Panhandle, it’s important to feel safe in your homes— particularly during hurricane season. At APEX Custom Builders, we know the value in building hurricane resistant homes to provide a means of safety and peace of mind for our customers. To safeguard your home is truly hurricane resistant, builders must take steps to ensure proper design and materials are used during the process.
Moisture-Resistant Materials
When building a hurricane-resistant home, it’s important to protect against flooding and wind-driven rain. The design a builder follows should include a way to reduce moisture infiltration and accumulation so water can be properly deflected and drained. This will reduce the risk of water damage after a hurricane.
Proper Load Path
A load path helps support a strong defense in holding the house together. When it comes to building materials and design, it’s crucial to ensure the roof, foundation and wall systems are all built with hurricane-resistant materials. This will protect against wind and obstructions to the exterior of the property from fallen or blown objects.
At APEX Custom Builders, we construct homes using only wind-resistant materials so you can rest assured you are better protected from weather in this region. For more information, please contact us at (850) 660-6900
