Building Resilient and Energy Efficient Homes with Clare Homes

At Clare Homes, we are committed to building homes that are not only energy efficient but also resilient enough to withstand natural disasters like hurricanes. Our mission is to create healthy and safe homes for our community that are built to last. In this blog post, we will discuss our resilient series and how we achieve a fortified roof assembly that protects your home against the devastating effects of hurricanes.

What is a Resilient Series?

Our resilient series is designed to meet the needs of homeowners who want to live in a home that can withstand natural disasters. We build these homes to a fortified roof standard, which is an above code roof assembly. This means that the roof is built to withstand high winds and heavy rain, which are common in areas prone to hurricanes.

What is a Fortified Roof Assembly?

A fortified roof assembly consists of several components that work together to create a more resilient roof assembly. First, we use a thicker roof decking that is nailed by a longer ring-shaped nail. This helps to improve the uplift capacity of your roof decking, making it less likely to be ripped off during a hurricane.

Next, we install an approved roof deck tape to achieve a sealed roof deck. This tape creates an airtight seal that prevents water from penetrating your roof deck, which can cause significant damage to your home.

Finally, we install shingles with an enhanced nail pattern that provides better wind resistance. All these components work together to create a more resilient roof assembly that can better protect your home against hurricanes.

Why is a Resilient Roof Assembly Important?

A resilient roof assembly is critical in areas prone to hurricanes. Hurricanes can cause significant damage to your home, including roof damage, water damage, and even total destruction. A fortified roof assembly can help prevent these types of damages, saving you time and money in the long run.

Additionally, a resilient roof assembly can increase your home’s value and improve your home’s energy efficiency. A sealed roof deck can help prevent air leaks, which can reduce your energy bills and make your home more comfortable.

Conclusion

At Clare Homes, we are committed to building homes that are not only energy efficient but also resilient enough to withstand natural disasters. Our resilient series is designed to meet the needs of homeowners who want to live in a home that can withstand hurricanes. We achieve this by building a fortified roof assembly that includes a thicker roof decking, an approved roof deck tape, and shingles with an enhanced nail pattern.
