Above Building Code Home Features
There are several ways in which a home builder can construct a home that will maintain structural integrity in high winds. For example, homes built to withstand wind speeds in excess of 140 mph are often constructed of steel reinforced, poured concrete. Builders may also use additional roof truss straps and impact resistant windows.
While an above code home can offer a great deal of protection in the event of a severe storm, all Florida residents should thoroughly prepare for the season by stocking up on supplies and preparing to evacuate should the order come to do so. After all, the best way to protect your family from a major hurricane is to get out of the way.
What an above building code home does offer is peace of mind that your home will be there when you return after the storm. An above code home may cost more initially, but to Florida residents who are concerned about protecting their home and family from hurricanes, that extra peace of mind is worth every penny.
