Wildfire-Resistant Window Upgrades
Windows fail under radiant heat before walls do. When glazing breaks, the opening admits embers and flame directly into the interior — which is why window assemblies facing slopes and heavy vegetation are a recurring assessment finding.
What professionals look at
- Single-pane glazing on exposed elevations
- Dual-pane and tempered glass upgrades
- Frame material and condition
- Screening condition and mesh
- Exterior shutters and coverings where appropriate
- Vegetation and combustible materials directly outside the window
Cheaper wins first
Removing the fuel outside a window often reduces exposure more affordably than replacing the window itself. A good assessment will make that trade-off explicit before recommending replacement.
