WHAT’S THE SAFEST ROOM IN THE HOUSE?

Imagine a safe, secure place right in your own home, removed from harm’s way. That place is the DuPont™ StormRoom™, the only in-home shelter reinforced with DuPont™ KEVLAR®.

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, the leading cause of injuries in powerful hurricanes and tornados.

The DuPont™ StormRoom™ with KEVLAR® is designed to endure wind speeds of up to 250 miles per hour. In independent tests, the DuPont™ StormRoom™ withstood repeated hits by building timbers at speeds equivalent to those found in F5 tornados and Category 5 hurricanes. This meets Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) national performance criteria for tornado/hurricane shelters.

The DuPont™ StormRoom™ with KEVLAR® is available in your choice of rectangular configurations and can be easily added to an existing home or incorporated into any building design. In fact, an Authorized Installer can set one up in less than a day. All you need to add is wiring, plumbing (if desired) and a builder’s finishing touch and you can create a StormRoom™ that doubles as an extra closet or powder room, providing you with utility every day of the year.

The DuPont™ StormRoom™ with KEVLAR® is a proud partner of the NextGen "First to the Future", the demonstration home exhibited at the International Builders Show in 2007.
