SOLUTION / SAFE ROOM
Safe Room and Panic Room
A safe room is a hardened volume inside a home, office or campus, designed for short but critical threats, graded from forced entry to chemical exposure.
Panic room vs. shelter
A panic room addresses forced entry and assault over minutes to hours. An NBC shelter sustains life against atmospheric threats over days to weeks. The two are complementary and can be layered in one building.
Protection levels
Doors, walls and monitoring are graded from the threat assessment.
- Forced-entry rated steel door and locking
- Ballistic-rated panel options
- Independent communications and emergency line
- Cameras and exterior monitoring
- Uninterrupted power and lighting
- Optional filtered clean-air supply
Placement
The safe room sits where occupants can reach it fastest, typically on the bedroom floor or adjacent to the executive office. Travel time often matters more than protection class.
Clean-air option
Where chemical or smoke risk is credible, a compact filtration unit and overpressure turn the safe room into a short-duration CBRN refuge.
Retrofit integration
In existing buildings a safe room can be built with panel-based hardening without touching the structural frame. In new projects, planning it at design stage lowers both cost and visibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can a panic room be built in an apartment?
- Yes. Panel systems harden an existing room without altering the structural frame.
- How long can occupants stay inside?
- Hours in a base configuration; days once filtration, water and power are added.
