WILDFIRE & YOUR HOME
A more resilient exterior
starts with a plan.
Use a window or siding project to discuss wildfire exposure and the details around your home.
Discuss your exterior project ↗Look at the whole home.
Home hardening reduces vulnerability. It does not make a home fireproof.
Windows and glass
The Colorado State Forest Service recommends tempered glass and two or more panes. Ask which glass package is specified for each opening.
Siding and nearby fuels
The Forest Service recommends 6 inches of clearance between siding and the ground. Discuss siding choices along with the materials and vegetation next to the wall.

Roofs, gutters, and decks
Regularly remove leaves, needles, and debris. Window replacement is one part of the work needed to reduce a home's exposure.
Property-wide guidance
Ask your local fire department or a trained wildfire-mitigation professional to help identify priorities around the home.
