With societal tensions running high in a supercharged geopolitical world, temporary and permanent job locations must mitigate all potential threats with steel-rated protection that never clocks out for protecting employees and sensitive documents.

Protestors and vigilantes have firebombed dealerships the world over as Tesla owners have quietly parked their cars in garages, away from vindictive gazes and spray paint happy vandals that are taking their free speech to vociferous destruction. US Tornado Shelters can protect sensitive and controversial brands and workplaces with a discreet commercial panic room.

What is The Difference Between a Safe Room and a Panic Room?

Potential customers use the terms safe room and panic room interchangeably. Both subsets offer quarter-inch steel protection with solid reinforced welds that solidify companies’ responses to severe weather and domestic unrest. While a safe room specifically safeguards against tornadoes and high winds, panic rooms are designed for protection against home invasions, company break-ins, and domestic unrest. Our commercial panic rooms provide safety from both severe weather and fanatical attacks from escalating protests infused with a mob mentality bent on revenge.

Where Should a Panic Room Be Located?

A commercial panic room should be located at undisclosed centralized location for temporary onsite evacuations. Most police responses take several minutes, so employees and customers need a quick remedy from prevailing violent temperaments onsite. Several clients have placed elongated commercial panic rooms at rear corridors and large unoccupied warehouse corners for maximum protection with inconspicuous design. Contractors can retrofit panelized safe room kits into existing offices or conference rooms, utilizing existing infrastructure for turnkey protection without expensive remodeling and demolition.

How Much Do Panic Rooms Costs?

Commercial panic room pricing varies based on size, optional features, and requested safety upgrades. Although permanent offices, manufacturing facilities, and warehouses benefit from permanent safe room installation, our temporary shelter rentals are ideal for transient operations with frequent change orders in destination. While continuous onsite safety is priceless, transportable panic room rentals cost a fraction of purchase price allowing reconciling budget considerations without draining operating expenses. Exact pricing is impossible because unique customized orders will invariably differ from multiple clients.

How Long Do Panic Rooms Last?

Commercial panic rooms should outlast the host infrastructure with proper care, maintenance and agreeable design implementations. Engineers design panic rooms with superior steel paneling, ensuring lasting strength in protection without customization compromising the lasting structural integrity. Although our commercial panic rooms can protect customers and guests indefinitely, most panic room stays are limited to short durations as anxious occupants are eager to vacate once the “all clear” is given by law enforcement.

How Big Should a Panic Room Be?

A panic room should be large enough to accommodate existing workforces and peak customer traffic totals with enough room to grow for expanding employment and fluctuating personnel. Furthermore, FEMA p-320 dictated safe rooms should be between between 512 cubic feet and 1568 cubic feet. Our customizable commercial panic rooms protect all demographics with various-sized models. Our 8′-x-10′ shelters can protect up to 26 occupants while the larger 8′-x-50′ shelters can safely accommodate up to 133 people with several midsized shelter options between the minimal and maximum offerings.
