Every time a hurricane heads toward Florida, the tape comes out.
You know the scene: neighbors frantically X-marking their windows with masking tape like it’s a scene from a disaster movie. But here’s the real disaster — taping your windows doesn’t protect them. At all. In fact, it could make things worse.
If you’re relying on tape to keep your home safe in a storm, it’s time for a reality check — and a much better solution. Let’s break down the myth, the risks, and what actually works when hurricane season hits.
🧻 No, Tape Won’t Save You — And It Might Even Hurt You
Let’s set the record straight:
Taping your windows doesn’t reinforce the glass. It doesn’t prevent breakage. It won’t stop flying debris. And it definitely won’t protect your home from the pressure changes hurricanes bring.
All tape really does is:
-
Create a false sense of security
-
Cause bigger, more dangerous shards when the window shatters
-
Leave you with sticky, sun-baked residue that’s nearly impossible to remove
So unless you want to spend a sweaty afternoon with a razor blade after the storm (assuming your windows survived), skip the tape. Seriously.
