Ready for some quality time? Although everyone’s family drives up the wall, frequent severe weather helps us all stay grounded during storm season. Small family storm shelters are a gentle reminder of what matters most: protection for loved ones with worsening weather patterns. While you might yammer on at the office about unruly or ungrateful children prematurely draining your parental energies, residential security gives your family a safety net for tumultuous reconciliation during unwavering global chaos. Small family storm shelters are more economical than larger above-ground or subterranean bunkers. Our panelized safe rooms accommodate unique family dynamics without infringing on residential floor plans. Optimize living area by converting existing offices, closets, and spare bedrooms into permanent steel protection.
While most residential safe rooms require demo work and cordoning off hundreds of square feet, retrofitted small family storm shelters accentuate viable living quarters or unused storage areas with readily-available protection. Light-weight panels and easily securable fasteners streamline installation without taking a sledgehammer to interior walls or upsetting your partner with another to clean-up after a long day at the office and exhausting commute. And don’t let the “light-weight” descriptor mislead you. Talented metallurgists, understanding the complex densities of subatomic atom structuring, engineer narrow yet formidable 1/4″ steel paneling, allowing turnkey assembly without heavy lifting.
What is a Panelized Small Family Storm Shelter?
A panelized small family storm shelter is a prefabricated, above-ground safe kit designed to withstand 250-mile-per-hour winds and flying debris. Novice handymen or skilled contractors install the kits within existing infrastructure, building off sturdy foundations and a home’s bare bones discretely unlike bulky oversized shelters unbefitting smaller families, who prefer quietly and safely huddling together while the world falls apart outside. Modular panel installation is ideal for readily-accessible safety points within the home, free of clutter and without impediments as electrical failures during tornado are almost certain, necessitating a well-rehearsed evacuation plan free of trip and fall hazards.
Versatile and Space-Saving
Panelized shelters aren’t a permanent fixture with fluctuating family and safety needs. Our versatile shelters are as easy to assemble before taking apart for relocation. Uncertain economic times affords families the option of taking their small family storm shelter with them while moving to a new home. While tornado safe room terminology is befuddling, there’s no room for nuance when selecting the ideal shelter. Safe rooms, tornado shelters, bunkers, and panic rooms are undistinguishable in protection. We engineer each model to your family’s needs and size with enough room to grow. Metal storm shelters are also an industry umbrella term – giving cover to families for decades.
What is the Cheapest Storm Shelter Option?
While cost should never be a definitive factor for family protection, dizzying tariff and inflation rhetoric demands closer examination of family finances. Small family safe rooms are more affordable and sensible for families limited by size, but unwilling to sacrifice strength and protection. Moreover, panelized kits are prefabricated, allowing for faster installation and reduce labor costs. Solid-welded safe rooms, while ideal for businesses and warehouses, are more manufacturing intense, requiring multistage, in-house assembly. FEMA also offers financial assistance for safe room reimbursement for qualified applicants.
