What is a Fortified Home™?
A Fortified Home™ is one built by standards that go beyond typical building codes to deliver superior performance during severe weather (such as hurricanes, strong thunderstorms, and lower-level tornadoes). There are three levels of designation: Roof, Silver and Gold that build on each other. This lets you choose your goals, budget and level of protection.
Levels of FORTIFIED™
The focus is on roof cover, decking, attic ventilation and soffits.
The focus is on opening protection systems and how the gable of a roof is built and how roofing overhangs are fastened.
The focus is on developing a continuous load path system from the foundation up to the roof.
