“Totally satisfied – very professional installation! If you need a shelter this is definitely the place to utilize. I checked different installers for a year and chose Lake Martin Shelters – so glad I did.”
John Williams
The Refuge Shelter is made by Fiberglass Creations Inc., a family-owned company, located in Henderson, Texas. This shelter is one of the oldest, underground fiberglass storm shelters in the business. Fiberglass Creations specialize in quality when it comes to their shelters. They focus on building fewer shelters with attention to detail, rather than mass production. They keep their customers in mind by conducting full inspections and testing before all shelters are put out on the market. After all, safety is their number one priority.
Fiberglass Creations is a member of the National Storm Shelter Association. The primary purpose of this association is to ensure the highest quality of manufactured and constructed storm shelters designed to protect people from injury or loss of life from the effects of tornadoes, hurricanes and other devastating natural disasters.
Did you know that fiberglass and carbon fiber are used to make bodies and hulls of ships due to their strength and lightweight feel?
The Refuge Shelter consists of many safety-designed features such as:
Body ribbing
This ribbing is found on all sides of the shelter. It gives added strength to the entire frame of the shelter which will hold to pressure of moving water and dirt once it is installed.
Hydraulic doors
The Refuge doors are large and consist of a strong hydraulic system. These doors offer an ease and comfort while descending into the shelter.
Carpeted stairs
The carpeted stairs add an additional sense of comfort by eliminating and kind of slipping or falling. Note that smaller the door is, the steeper the stairs. Carpet is a plus.
High Ceilings
This is important for any storm shelter you purchase. The higher the ceilings are, the easier it is to breathe and relax during a natural disaster. It is also much cooler in the warm temperatures. The Refuge shelter ceiling heights range from 6’2 to 6’10.
Additional features include clean, dry interior, easy maintenance, and overall safety during an event.
