storm

Natural disasters, particularly storms, cause an estimated $54 billion in annual damages in the United States. High winds, flying debris, and water intrusion can devastate buildings constructed with conventional materials, leading to extensive repairs and financial losses. Traditional materials often lack the durability and resilience needed to withstand these extreme weather conditions. With climate change driving an increase in the frequency and intensity of storms, the risk to structures is higher than ever. Insurance companies are responding by raising premiums or even denying coverage in storm-prone areas, adding financial strain to homeowners.

MAXTERRA® products offer enhanced protection
against these destructive forces.
