Hurricane
preparedness starts here: the DuPont™ StormRoom™ with
Kevlar®
Imagine a safe, secure place right in your own home, protected
from harm's way. That's the DuPont™ StormRoom™, the in-home shelter reinforced with
KEVLAR®, a miracle fiber from DuPont.
|
KEVLAR®—the
same life-saving material used in bullet-resistant vests—is,
pound for pound, five times stronger than steel, putting a
virtually impenetrable barrier between you and windborne debris,
one of the leading causes of injuries in major hurricanes.
In impact tests, the DuPont™ StormRoom™ withstood
repeated hits by a 12-ft, 15-lb. two-by-four fired at windborne
debris speeds greater than those seen in Category 5 storms.
That meets FEMA's performance standard for hurricane and tornado
shelters. There's also the added reassurance of knowing that
the StormRoom™ is
|
|
|
solidly
anchored to your concrete foundation with chemically set anchors
powerful enough to resist the wind uplift generated by tornados
and the most powerful Category 5 storms.
But though the
DuPont™ StormRoom™ puts you safely beyond reach, you're
never out of touch. Your cell phone and radio keep working - even
at the height of the storm - allowing you to stay on top of any developing
situation.
|
| |
It's a
simple addition to make, adaptable to most floor plans.
Available
in your choice of pre-built configurations, the StormRoom™ can
be easily added to an existing home, or incorporated into
most building designs. In fact, an Authorized Installer can
set it up in less than one day. All you need to add is wiring,
plumbing (if desired) and a builder's finishing touches,
and you can create a StormRoom™ that doubles as an
extra closet or powder room, providing you with utility every
day of the year.
Ask your
builder or remodeling team about the DuPont™ StormRoom™
with KEVLAR®. For more information you may also call 800-448-9835
or e-mail us using the contact information
