A window is designed to withstand pressure changes and wind forces through its construction and installation. The use of tempered glass, which is stronger than regular glass, along with proper sealing and framing, helps resist the stresses caused by storms. Additionally, the pressure differential created by wind can be balanced by the design of the window, preventing it from shattering under extreme conditions. Regular maintenance and checks also contribute to ensuring the window remains intact during severe weather.
