Hurricanes and the extreme weather conditions that come with them are a regular occurrence in many areas. The damage hurricanes cause to homes and businesses runs into millions of dollars each year. Many insurance companies will refuse to insure a property against storm damage, unless the property is fitted with custom hurricane rated impact doors and windows.
High impact doors and windows are quality controlled, manufactured and designed to withstand hurricanes and other extremes of weather. That does not mean that as a buyer you are restricted when it comes to choosing your preferred custom design and finish. You can still add that extra something to the appearance of your property with custom made high impact products.
Custom doors and windows are available in a range of styles and finishes. The basic styles can be customized to your specification by adding frames, panels and glass. The doors and frames are usually manufactured from solid hardwoods such as mahogany and can be treated and stained or painted to your specification.
Make sure that you are buying your door and fitments from a reputable supplier. Check that your fitter and the manufacturer are industry and state registered which implies a degree of quality and competence. Do not hand over any money or sign anything until you have a written contract for services and have checked all the small print. Once your contract is signed you will likely have to pay a deposit, with the remainder to be paid on satisfactory completion of the job.
When your custom made door and fitments are delivered, inspect them yourself to ensure they have not been damaged during transit. Whenever possible arrange for the fitter to be on hand when they arrive and ensure that they also check and sign off on the condition. Any damages need to be reported usually within a specified time limit to the seller who is responsible for liaising with the manufacturer.
A door that cannot be hung immediately need to be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area until they are required. They should not be exposed to direct sunlight until they have been finished. They should be handled and stored following the manufacturers instructions to keep them clean and prevent damage prior to and during the installation process.
Wipe down the door and frames to remove any dust. Only when necessary you can lightly sand down the surface to remove stubborn blemishes. Test your stain on a small part of the wood to ensure you will achieve the finish you want.
Doors, frames that are to be stained should be prepped with a pre-stain conditioner to avoid streaks and runs. On the other hand if they are to be painted you should apply a good quality moisture resistant primer. Be sure to allow the pre-stain or the primer to dry fully before applying the finish. Although you will pay more for products, preparation and fitting, your custom hurricane rated impact doors and windows will prove to be good value when they protect your home or your business during extremes of weather.
