Many people promote a method that supposedly prevents windows from breaking.
This involves opening the window slightly. The reasoning is that opening the window allows air to flow into the house, thus lowering the air pressure and reducing the risk of glass breakage.
Expert council
According to experts, gradually opening doors and windows in strong winds is ineffective. It can even increase the risk of serious damage to property and injury to people inside. Therefore, in extreme weather conditions such as storms or strong winds, the best way to protect your living space is to keep all doors and windows tightly closed.
What should you do with doors during a storm with strong winds?
Here are some recommendations for handling doors and minimizing damage on stormy, windy days:
1. Use plywood/planer to screen the doors. ️️
1. Use plywood/planer to screen the doors.
Plywood and heavy-duty plastic sheeting can serve as an additional “protective barrier” for windows, especially in high-rise buildings. Using sturdy screws, homeowners can attach plywood sheets the size of the window to the outside of the window frame. Remember to attach them to the wall around the window, not directly to the frame.
Rigid plastic tarpaulins should be securely attached to the balcony outside the window. These solutions can help prevent some of the wind from hitting the house window directly.
2. Use sturdy braces to secure the window.
In addition to plywood or tarpaulins, homeowners can secure the doors with braces. To ensure stability, these braces must be securely attached to both the window frame and the surrounding walls.
3. Place sandbags or heavy objects to block the wind.
If your house has large doors, throw sandbags, large bags of water, or bags of bricks in front of them to block the wind. This strategy reduces the direct impact of the wind on the glass doors.
