A hurricane is a group of winds of extraordinary force that forms a whirlwind and turns in great circles. It usually originates in the tropics and from the moment of its birth, begins to expand its diameter. It is a system of storms that circulates around a center of low pressure and that generates strong […]
Much of the damage that occurs during a hurricane can come from objects breaking windows or doors, leaving them fractured and defective. Impact fractures in violent weather can result in catastrophic air movements and pressure equalizations in the home. Windows and doors have are crucial during hurricane season.

The impact resistant glass consists of two glass panels joined together with a special intermediate layer of transparent polyvinyl butyral. Although the debris carried […]
Despite the initial predictions, one of the most important factors of how the hurricane season develops in the Atlantic is the global climate under the influence of El Niño and La Niña. Before continuing, let us explain: What is the phenomenon of the El Niño? El Niño is a phenomenon related to the warming of […]
They are estimated between 9 and 15 storms. The Climate Prediction Center of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has chosen the names of the 9 to 15 possible storms and hurricanes for the 2019 season: At FB DOORS we’re proud to offer you a long-term solution to the presence of these potential hurricanes, with […]
The Climate Prediction Center of the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) predicts the presence of 9 to 15 storms with winds of 39 mph or more, including two to four major category 3 or 4 hurricanes with winds up to 156 mph. Check out this infographic for the NOAA hurricane season outlook: With this […]
From June 1 to November 30. The NOAA Climate Prediction Center (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is forecasting an intense hurricane season for this year. The institution predicts the presence of 9 to 15 storms with winds of 39 mph or more, and 4 to 8 of them may become hurricanes with winds of 74 mph […]
Is your community prepared to weather a storm? Usually, June 1st marks the beginning of the hurricane season, which runs until November.
