While safe rooms (panic rooms) have been the focus of much public attention, the effectiveness of safe rooms as stand-alone facilities is inferior in residential applications.  However, when used in conjunction with a SAFE Core, the safe room becomes an effective control and safety center, which can be an integral part of the overall safe environment.

On average, it takes less than ten seconds from the time a home is invaded for the intruder to be in the master bedroom.  There simply is not enough time to get out of bed and into a safe room before the intruder has reached you.  And, it is highly unlikely that other family members would be able to reach the safe room in time to ensure their protection.

For most residential applications, SAFE developed and utilizes the SAFE Core.  This unique zone, consisting of 2 or more rooms, protects the primary living areas within the home, allowing family members and guests to remain comfortably and safely together within the natural environment of the Core.  If a threat arises, there is no need to run for shelter.  You are already safe and protected.

The Safe Core is typically a bullet and gas resistant zone that seals and protects the targeted area with fortified walls, ceilings, floors, doors and windows if desired. SAFE Cores are usually equipped with monitoring and life safety equipment, controlled atmospheres and tamper proof communications that allow occupants to remain connected to the outside while they are safe within their Core. Most importantly, the SAFE Core is seamlessly incorporated into any architectural and interior design with no visual evidence of its existence.

SAFE Cores can be achieved to meet any security requirements, architectural structure or budget, from a single ballistics-rated door to fully armored and automated facilities.

In corporate and commercial applications, a stand-alone safe room may provide an adequate level of protection.  Often notice of an impending threat can be received by the person being protected long before they are in harms way.

Whether you are building a property or want to retrofit an existing one with a new level of true security, SAFE Cores provide an incomparable option, offering peace of mind and above all, the assurance of your safety.
