When it comes to surviving a hurricane, your first line of defense is your home. In the Caribbean, we’ve seen it all—from gale-force winds to devastating floods. So, the question is: Is your house built to withstand it?
🔨 Key Features of a Hurricane-Resilient Home
Here’s what to consider when reinforhcing your existing home—or building a new one:
1. A Strong Foundation
Start with solid concrete footings and steel-reinforced columns. Rayneau Construction follows engineered designs that meet and exceed hurricane standards.
2. Wind-Resistant Roofing
Your roof is your most vulnerable point. Choose hip roofs with a pitch of 30° or less, metal roofing sheets, hurricane straps, and fasteners designed to withstand Category 4 or 5 winds.
3. Impact-Resistant Windows & Doors
Glass windows should be fitted with hurricane shutters or made from laminated glass. Doors should swing outward and be secured with three hinges and deadbolt locks.
4. Proper Drainage Systems
Prevent water buildup and flooding by ensuring your property has proper sloping, gutters, and French drains.
5. Safe Rooms
Consider a reinforced room or basement where your family can stay protected during a storm.
