You never expect an emergency, which is why it’s so important to be ready for one in advance. Building a safe room is a smart way to provide an extra layer of safety for you and your family. 

Why a Safe Room Is Important

Mother Nature is often unforgiving. While there may be many days of gorgeous weather, it only takes a single evening of storms to completely devastate a neighborhood. Because of the severity of these storms and the damage that can be done by tornadoes, lightning strikes, heavy hail, and more, you need a secure shelter for your family.  Many times, a traditional basement isn’t enough.

A safe room built with a reinforced concrete roof can withstand almost anything Mother Nature throws at it. When built according to FEMA guidelines, it can provide protection against winds of up to 250 miles per hour and projectiles traveling at 100 miles per hour  – enough to protect your family from all but the most devastating tornadoes. With a LiteForm safe room in place, you can rest easy knowing you have a secure location that you and your family can go if danger is approaching. 

The Importance of Quality Construction

To stand up to all of the forces it needs to, a safe room needs to be built with top-quality materials. LiteForm provides a simple means of building a quiet and energy-efficient safe room. LiteForm® is available in various sizes, making it useful in a variety of projects. 

With the strength and flexibility of these materials, a safe room can even be built underneath an existing porch or deck. In this convenient location, the extra space can be used as a wine cellar or secure storage for firearms.
