I don’t know anybody who tapes their windows anymore.

Hi,

I am from Austria and not familar with Typhoon`s. Why do you tape the windows? Should it prevent them for breaking?

Greetings

1 Taping to make a larger piece can withstand stronger wind
2 Even if it breaks it doesn’t get all over the ground
