SECURITY ROOM CONSTRUCTION AND FEATURES
The construction of a security room or safety room needs to take into consideration all the necessary elements to assure safety, based on the potential threat, it is also important that normal functions such as plumbing, electrical and ventilation are taken into account. Once our architects determine the proper design of your security room our construction team uses only the best materials possible and follows strict criteria laid out by our security specialists.
All of our security rooms consist of the following:
-
We prefer to construct our walls from floor to ceiling for structural continuity.
-
We use Steel studs for our walls, and brace them with reinforcing ties then cover them with bullet resistant material such as Kevlar. • We cover the bullet resistant material with sheetrock, tile or other decorative finishes.
-
We overlap resistant sheet where necessary to assure your security room does not have any weak points.
-
We incorporate all necessary structural elements such as wiring, plumbing and ventilation and also consider the potential threat of poisonous gasses being sent into the rooms through the duct system and build according to the potential of this threat.
-
Our floors are concrete whenever possible. We also reinforce the floor to account for the added weight of structural elements of the security room.
-
We realize that doors are one of the most critical aspects of a security room design. We use bullet-resistant doors with internal steel framing, and mount them in such a way that allows for smooth opening and closing. We also use hardware that can provide substantial, secure locking.
-
We implement sound insulation into the construction of our security rooms. This insulation assures that the attacker can not be heard nor can they hear you.
-
We incorporate only the best surveillance and computer equipment into our security rooms.
