SAFE ROOMS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION
One of the hottest new trends in home building is installing a safe room at the time of construction. We work with many builders in Alabama to incorporate an affordable and easy way to protect your family in a severe weather event. FEMA now states that having a safe room inside your home offers the best protection because you don’t have to go out into the weather to seek safety. You will also spend the least amount of time in a safe room in your home.
Timing is critical for safe room installation. It happens immediately after the slab is poured. We don’t anchor the safe room because the concrete has to cure for at least 21 days. We set the shelter and the builders can proceed with framing up the home. Since the safe room is anchored from the inside we come back at no charge to anchor after the 21 days.
