Tornado Safe Room – All Weather Safe Rooms

The best safe room doesn’t always mean the most expensive safe room…

Starting at $4,000, for example, you could have your own 4 foot by 4 foot above ground All Weather Safe Room (or tornado room) installed in your home or business. And not only will our all-welded, reinforced, thick steel tornado safe room units protect from even an EF-5 tornado (engineered to exceed FEMA’s national performance requirements), they can also protect you from theft, bullets, fire and more.

What specifically makes the All Weather Safe Room a “superior” Safe Room? (Compare to the competition:)

• The All Weather tornado safe room has undergone extensive testing at the Texas Tech Science Engineering Center (see the video of the All Weather Tornado Safe Room impact tests here)
• All our tornado safe rooms are manufactured with state of the art equipment and are 100% made in the U.S.A.
• Rounded corners – we don’t weld the corners of our safe rooms, we go the extra mile and bend the corners to add additional rigidity and strength
• All our tornado safe rooms and storm shelters meet or exceed FEMA 320, FEMA 361 and National Storm Shelter Association (NSSA) standards
• Our All Weather Safe Room has one of the strongest doors available in the industry at approximately 350-pounds of 1/4-inch thick steel, with heavy-duty grease-hinges, protected from impact or damage by the exterior wall of the safe room
• Doors come standard with a door size meeting ADA wheelchair accessibility and are latched using a high-security locking Medeco dead-bolt and two 3/4″ solid steel latch pins, securing the door at 3 points (Deluxe package replaces sliding pins with deadbolts, for a total of 3 heavy-duty locking deadbolts)
• The safe room is anchored every 16 inches to the floor using the proven 5/8″  Hilti bolting system and epoxy, each bolt with a sheer force rating of 13,800 pounds (per bolt!)
• Engineered for extra strength via our 2 inch square tubular frame every 16 inches manufactured to the highest standards (versus just a single-sheet of steel for the wall or ceiling, and no other tubing or bracing!)
• Our tornado safe room is manufactured in a facility dedicated to the manufacturing of storm shelters and safe rooms using state of the art equipment and technology to ensure the highest quality tolerances to provide the safest rooms possible!
• All Weather Safe Rooms come standard with 3/16″ steel (1/4″ steel unit also available with Deluxe package).
• In summary, you can be assured that you are investing in the quality and safety you and your family deserve.

Beware of ‘Copycat’ Safe Rooms!

In our search for the best storm shelters, tornado rooms and safe rooms on the market, we came across many “copycats.”   These companies took the designs of tested storm shelter manufacturers, took various shortcuts in their own manufacturing process and produced an inferior product. Without thorough research, however, the average customer cannot determine the difference.

Often times, these storm shelters and tornado safe rooms do not have doors that meet FEMA and Texas Tech University standards in either general construction or in locking mechanisms, among other deficiencies we found. Some of these tornado safe room manufacturers claim they do on-site testing saying it’s not necessary to have their shelter tested by the reputable university standards…

These “copycat” manufacturers are taking your life into their hands by selling you an inferior product with no regard for your safety. Please, for your own sake, make sure the shelter your life or valuables are depending on is an approved, safe shelter.

The Wind Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University applauds your company’s efforts in providing a safe product for the consumer.

Don’t accept a substandard shelter or safe room that is pieced together in someone’s garage or back yard.  Go with a proven and experienced leader that will ensure your shelter or safe room will remain intact and in place.

The All Weather Safe Room is designed to be installed in new or existing construction.  They can easily be installed into the framing of the house or installed in your garage for quick and convenient access without ever having to go outside in extreme conditions.  If neither of these two options meet your needs, the All Weather tornado safe room can be installed outside of your home on a slab which meets specifications we will provide to you (some of our customers elect to install a tornado safe room over the top of an underground shelter, so we can do that for you too).
