The DuPont™ StormRoom™ with KEVLAR®, an aboveground, in-home hurricane and tornado shelter, can be easily added to an existing home or incorporated into any new building design. It can be created in any wall length from 4 feet to 12 feet as a customized system or standard size. The security door with keypad allows the StormRoom™ to also act as a safe room and deters intruders. The StormRoom™ is a fully functional living space; all you need is wiring, plumbing (if desired) and a few finishing touches to create a StormRoom™ that doubles as an extra closet, powder room or even a wine cellar.
The DuPont™ StormRoom™ with KEVLAR® is easy to install and offers many benefits:
• Durable and strong yet lighter than steel and concrete shelters
• Can be easily added to an existing home or new construction
• Installation in less than one day by an Authorized DuPont Installer
• Doesn’t interrupt the building cycle—can be installed from bare slab through framing or drywall
• Ventilated for easy breathing
• Handicap accessible door
• Does not interfere with reception—cell phones and radios will still work
• Offers more reliable protection than basements, windowless rooms (closets, bathrooms) or doorways
The Safest Room in Your House
Imagine a safe, secure place right in the home, removed from harms way. A place that can blend seamlessly with a family’s everyday life and offer protection when it counts. That place is the DuPont™ StormRoom™, the only in-home shelter reinforced with DuPont™ KEVLAR®.
Being prepared for severe weather conditions goes beyond buying batteries and stocking up on bottled water during storm season. It starts right within the home. During a storm, windborne debris ranging from broken building materials to common household items can become dangerous flying missiles. Unfortunately, masonry, framing and sheet rock alone are not designed to stop this kind of threat. If a tornado suddenly appears on the horizon, or a hurricane lands close to home, it is critical that families have a secure shelter.
The DuPont™ StormRoom™ with KEVLAR® is an invaluable, easy addition to an existing home, or an important element in new building designs. Families feel protected in their own home and builders feel confident that their houses offer reliable storm protection. Houses can be rebuilt, but families are irreplaceable.
