Even though it officially ended November 30, hurricane season is right around the corner…again!

June for most people means barbecues, summer vacations, sunny days, and warm summer nights—but for Floridians or anyone on the gulf coast, it means the beginning of dreaded hurricane season. June 1st will be here before you know it, so to prevent being unprepared in the face of a storm, we recommend you start making your hurricane preparations now. That includes making a storm kit, putting a few extra sandbags in the garage, and most importantly, hurricane-proofing your home with impact resistant windows.

A suggested style is the Impact Single Hung Window. It has an aluminum frame and laminated impact resistant glass. Impact Single Hung windows are available in a variety of styles that can complement whatever existing architectural style your home is. In addition to its exceptional security, Impact Single Hung Windows offer great sound control. You can even have them tinted to minimize heat and UV penetration, something that any homeowner in Florida could benefit from this summer.

Impact windows are a fantastic first step to hurricane proofing your home, but if you’d like an added level of security, impact resistant doors and shutters will give you the peace of mind you need this storm season.

If you’re thinking about beginning a large scale tenant improvement project, you may have some questions about how to keep the environment and your workers safe. Here are a few of the options we offer depending on the size of your project:

ZipWall: This product is designed to isolate our work space from the rest of the enclosed environment. It is achieved by using a plastic barrier that is easy enough for one person to set up. It doesn’t use any tape or building materials; it can be erected in minutes. The result keeps construction, and all the resultant dust, contained.

Negative Air Technology: Contain particles, dust, and odors within the work space. Since air flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure, this technology creates inward air flow from cracks and crevices to prevent contaminated air from spreading outside of the work space.

HEPA Filter: High efficiency particle absorbing is an air filter that traps particles smaller than .3 microns. A micron is 1/ 1,000,000 of a meter which is about 300 times smaller than a human hair. This is achieved through the random arrangement of fibers, which collect and trap these small particles.

So when you’re thinking about your next project or small home repairs, remember that TI Contractors have you covered.

TI Contractors is a commercial contractor that does more than just build. We maintain a high level of customer satisfaction by planning with you the details of what you need done. First, our contractors consult with your architect, designer and landlord to ensure that there is cohesion and agreement between all parties. After we have drawn up a proposal, we begin site preparation through the greenest available technologies to minimize collateral impact. Then, after construction, we inspect all phases of the project to satisfy your every requirement. Finally, with a punch-card, we ask if we have fulfilled all of your needs.

We work with you to design areas in your entire office – executive, boardroom, administrative, and reception, parking lots, lobbies, elevators, staircases, lounges and restrooms. We provide professional installation on windows and glass for home and office too. And if you have a smaller retail company, like a bank, salon, restaurant or store, we will not only build your space, but we will maintain it, something that few, if any, firms besides TI Contractors do.

We want to welcome you to our blog, created with you in mind! This is a place for you to get tips about every question you might have. We’re building protection you can trust.
