Home hardening refers to the process of utilizing fire-resistant materials and specific landscaping to shield buildings from the dangers of firestorms. This includes implementing Class A roofing materials, using fire-rated gutters, noncombustible siding, and dual-pane tempered glass windows. It also emphasizes the importance of ember-resistant vents, sealed eaves, and fire-resistant decks. Landscaping strategies focus on reducing flammable vegetation around homes by creating defensible zones that increase safety and minimize fire risks, ultimately enhancing the structural integrity and survivability of buildings during wildfires.
Home hardening involves using fire-resistant materials and landscaping techniques to protect buildings from wildfires, ensuring structural safety against flames and embers.
Implementing home hardening strategies requires attention to roofs, gutters, and siding, all which must utilize non-combustible materials to enhance fire resistance.
