As Hurricane Lane churned toward the Hawaiian islands last week, every property owner determined the degree of preparedness to realize. In the case of the Pacific Heights House, a two story historic wood framed structure perched over 500 feet above sea level, the decision was made to install a custom window protection system, which was designed, procured and installed in 3.5 days. Translucent corrugated PVC panels cut to overlay existing openings and secured with Velcro, over-sized washers and screws to window casing is pictured here. Thankfully, Lane was weakened off shore by wind shear and this house now has a ready-made system for future events.
