Above-Ground Safety Shelters: Just as Safe as Below-Ground
At E. L. Ironworks, we receive many questions about the safety of above-ground shelters compared to below-ground shelters. Rest assured, both types offer equal protection and security. Whether above or below ground, safety shelters are designed to protect you and your family in severe weather conditions, including tornadoes, hurricanes, and excessive winds.
Why Above-Ground Shelters Are Just as Safe:
- Solid Steel Construction: Both our above-ground and below-ground shelters are made from solid steel, ensuring maximum durability and strength.
- Rigorous Testing: Each shelter model goes through the same rigorous testing process, guaranteeing that it meets the highest standards of protection.
- Weather Resistant: Designed to withstand severe weather conditions, including extreme winds, both types of shelters provide ultimate safety during storms.
- FEMA Compliant: Our shelters are fully compliant with FEMA regulations, ensuring they meet all necessary safety standards.
Whether you choose an above-ground or below-ground model, E. L. Ironworks ensures that you and your loved ones remain safe during the most dangerous weather events.
At EL Ironworks, we specialize in crafting storm shelters that prioritize your family's safety and peace of mind. Our below-ground shelters are built in strict accordance with FEMA’s comprehensive construction standards and guidelines, ensuring they can withstand even the most severe weather conditions. Each unit is supported by professionally engineered, stamped drawings, reflecting our commitment to quality, durability, and compliance.
In addition to traditional below-ground shelters, we offer a variety of options to suit different home layouts and preferences. Our above-ground safe rooms, mounted inside the garage, provide quick and secure access during emergencies. We also install in-ground garage shelters, which are embedded directly into the garage floor for a seamless and space-efficient solution. For homeowners seeking exterior options, our exterior in-ground shelters are placed outside the home, offering robust protection while maintaining accessibility. No matter the configuration, EL Ironworks delivers storm shelters designed to keep your loved ones safe when it matters most.
