We all want a return on our investments. Anytime we are looking to make a smart financial move, we carefully calculate the risk-reward ratio. If the risks don’t outweigh potential gains, we are more willing to invest.
Some financial gambles make more sense than others. Take playing the stock market as an example. A more savvy investor knows how to hedge his bets or fold altogether in an uncertain market. A more seasoned businessman will also astutely observe market conditions before treading into an unsavory business deals.
A steel panelized kit can add value to your home or office
But not all investments are risky. In fact, some are rather prudent and necessary once you consider your external environment and circumstances. Every year, hurricanes, tornadoes, civil disturbances and other catastrophes cause millions of dollars in damage to homes and businesses. Some property owners even pay the ultimate price as thousands of people perish annually in these ill-begotten storms. So what can you do to offset these risks?
While there’s nothing we can do to cause a storm to deviate from its chosen path, we can protect ourselves from almost certain harm. A steel panelized safe room kit from U.S. Safe Room can be easily installed into any home or office and offer a lifetime or protection. A superbly engineered steel safe room kit is a turnkey solution to your safety needs. By installing a panelized kit in a centralized location, you can offer your family and employees guaranteed protection. You’ll get more than just peace of mind when you invest with U.S. Safe Room.

A word from the experts on the benefits of a safe room or shelter
“I think we need to get out to the public that there is value here,” said Joe Pryor, president of the Oklahoma Association of Realtors. “It (a safe room) will improve the value and salability of your home. If you spend $3,000 on a storm shelter, you get two-thirds of the value back,” he said. “That’s a really good investment.”

And since a U.S. Safe Room panelized kit can be seamlessly implemented into an existing room or closest with your home, it won’t increase the size of your home’s floor plan and therefore won’t affect property taxes. Take a look at some of the other benefits of existing a safe room in your home or office:
- Customized steel panels can retrofit any room
- Panels come in single units and are lightweight
- Installed by a professional or by you
- Proven protection against burglary
- Protection against natural disasters
- Protection for your valuables
- Discreet and easy to install
- Save the lives of loved ones, employees, and coworkers
- Peace of mind
“If you want the maximum value to your home, you needed to have added value to your home,” Pryor said. “Hand-scraped wood floors, storm shelters, all of these things add to the value of your home.”

Better than a basement….
“Storm shelters are very efficient,” he said. “It’s the most efficient way in bad weather to protect yourself. It’s a real challenge to do a true basement. From a value point of view, the storm shelter is the better value.”

Some frugal homeowners will rely on existing infrastructure, such as a basement, in keeping their families safe. While this might seem more cost effective, basements are typically more difficult to keep dry and don’t offer the same level protection as quarter-inch steel plating. For complete protection, the only true barrier that can exist between you and Mother Nature is a safe room or underground shelter from U.S. Safe Room.
