Architect Máximo Caballero has identified a common issue with homes during heavy rainfall: water ingress through window frames. He notes that standard window frames often cannot withstand intense downpours, leading to damp walls. Caballero proposes a low-cost, preventative measure – utilizing window shutters. Deploying shutters acts as an immediate physical barrier against water infiltration. This simple habit can significantly reduce the risk of water damage. The architect’s advice focuses on proactive protection rather than costly repairs after leaks occur. This solution is particularly relevant for regions experiencing increased rainfall intensity.
