Filed

• Impact-rated glazing

  Draft

  What impact-rated glazing is, how it is tested (ASTM E1886/E1996 and regional product approvals), when code requires it, how it compares with shutters, what it does to insurance, and where it doesn't belong.

• Impact shutters

  Outline

  Panels or rolling shutters installed over openings before a storm. They only work if they are on the house, rated for the opening, and someone is there to deploy the ones that do not stay closed.

• Ember-resistant vents

  Outline

  Attic and crawlspace vents detailed to resist wind-blown embers. Relevant where wildfire, not storm surge, is the opening problem. Cite the listing or the code section before calling a vent compliant.
