Tornadoes are the vanguard of complete chaos and incomprehensible damage. Within a matter of minutes, these harbingers of doom can reduce once sturdy brick and mortar neighborhoods to unrecognizable piles of debris and heartache. Residents of Fultondale, Alabama are living with this stark reality following last Monday’s disastrous tornado that damaged 265 homes. Advanced forecasting and early warning tornado systems likely helped keep casualties at a minimal. The next affected community might not be so lucky. To mitigate the harm rendered by sporadic and dangerous storms, invest in a steel tornado shelter from U.S. Safe Room.
Panelized safe rooms can be easily installed in your home’s basement, spare room or centralized location
When shopping for a safe room or steel tornado shelter, you might be tempted to invest in a “Big Box” bargain shelter available at any commercial warehouse. If you’re really desperate, you might even take a chance with a local contractor who doesn’t use materials approved to withstand the horrific windspeeds that accompany tornadoes. While sensational news headlines might prompt you to pull a trigger on a discount shelter, you should instead consider your family’s safety and the longevity of potentially inferior products. When you were shopping for a new residence, or designing that perfect dream home, you likely didn’t settle for a run-of-the-mill or one-size fits all floor plan. You wanted a home that met your family unique needs and wants. You should adopt this same mindset when shopping for a steel tornado shelter or safe room.
Safe rooms are the perfect DIY project and can increase the value of your home
When considering purchasing a safe room or tornado shelter, many people are intimidated by the installation process. They are worried about not having enough room or the mechanical prowess to install steel paneling. As you can tell from the picture above, the safe room construction process is simple and can be completed with a few simple hand tools. If you do decide to install the unit yourself, you might also want to consider partnering with a local contractor to ensure safe installation. We also offer discreet delivery, so you don’t have to worry about nosey neighborhoods becoming privy to your home security measures. When it comes to killer storms, don’t settle for inferior protection. Invest in your family’s safety today.
