Basement safe room ideas

Tornadoes hit the United States than any other country in the world and Texas has more tornadoes than any other state. Here is a look at how to build a tornado shelter

Why the shelter door is the biggest mistake of installing a storm shelter

If you’ve had the idea to build a basement safe room you’re in good company! A basement is, by default, more secure than the average room since up to five of its six sides (all but the ceiling) are created with the most stable environment we know of: the earth.

Whether you live in a house or an apartment, you can still create a safe room to which vulnerable family members can retreat in an emergency.

Official statistics say a home burglary occurs every 15 seconds in the US. Don’t panic! Instead, you need to build a panic room.

Safe rooms not only provide protection for the homeowner from intruders, they offer shelter from tornadoes and other high-wind storms. If a basement is not available, build the above ground safe room and use it as a walk-in closet. Your guests may never know the difference.
