Near Bradenton Beach, Florida, the Hunters Point community boasts “some of the most sustainable, energy-efficient and hurricane-proof homes in the country,” thanks in no small part to its incorporation of spray foam insulation into the overall design and build of each home, as reported by CNN.
With Hurricanes Helene and Milton recently sweeping through this area, residents of Hunters Point reported little to no damage to their homes.
Pearl Homes, who designed and built this community, considered all factors when creating homes that could withstand even the most powerful storms:
“The streets surrounding the homes are intentionally designed to flood so houses don’t. Power and internet lines are buried to avoid wind damage. The sturdy concrete walls, hurricane-proof windows and doors are fortified with a layer of foam insulation, providing extra safety against the most violent storms.”
In addition to CNN, Hunters Point has been featured in Daily Mail, Business Insider, and Fast Company, as an example of a community built with resiliency in mind.
Homeowners, particularly those in hurricane-vulnerable areas, looking to strengthen the overall structure of their home, ensure overall comfort, and reduce their utility costs, should look to spray foam insulation as a vital building material to help your home weather the storm.
