In the Midwest, Oklahoma offers a mix of natural landscapes, vibrant communities, and a growing economy that attracts both residents and visitors. With wide-open plains and rolling hills, the state offers serene views as well as opportunities for fishing, biking, and hiking. Cities such as Oklahoma City and Tulsa feature dynamic arts, music, and food scenes, while smaller towns like Guthrie and Broken Bow offer a quieter pace of life and a strong local culture rooted in history and tradition. Fun fact: Oklahoma City has a museum entirely devoted to bones.

As far as Oklahoma’s climate, the state experiences summers, cold winters, and moderate to low humidity compared to coastal states. The state is located in “Tornado Alley,” so spring and early summer often bring strong storms and tornado activity. These climate conditions make high-performance insulation and weather-resistant construction essential for energy efficiency and occupant comfort in both residential and commercial buildings, while the likelihood of severe weather events demands performance exteriors that can stand up to high winds.
