As wildfires grow in frequency and severity across North America, building professionals face increasing pressure to design structures that are more likely to survive these extreme events— especially in Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zones. Windows are among the most vulnerable elements in the building envelope during a wildfire, often acting as failure points for heat, flame, and ember intrusion.

Building tight, durable homes doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does require getting the details right, especially around wall penetrations. Even small gaps around ducts, hose bibs, wiring, and line sets can weaken an otherwise good air-barrier system if they’re not sealed properly.
