FAQS
1
Have your safe rooms been tested?
Lone Star Safe Rooms are designed to withstand F5
tornados with winds in excess of 260 miles per hour. Our
safe rooms have been tested at the Texas Tech Wind and
Science Institute to exceed FEMA 320/361 standards as
well as ICC 500 building code requirements.
2
What keeps your safe room fromblowing away?
LLone Star Safe Rooms use a Simpson Strong-Tie
Wedge-All anchoring system to secure the safe room
during an F5 tornado. Each safe room is bolted down to
your concrete slab by drilling 5/8” x 3 ½” holes and
inserting specialty designed anchoring bolts at the
appropriate locations around the perimeter of the safe
room to ensure the safe room stays in place as the rest of
the house is the house is torn away from the slab.
3
How can I breathe?
Lone Star Safe Rooms meet and exceed FEMA
requirements regarding ventilation. With our top and
bottom door ventilation design, our doors allow safe and
secure ventilation.
4
What size of safe room should I buy?
FEMA reccomends that you take the number of people
you want to protect and multiply that number by 3 feet
for standing or 6 feet for sitting. This will give you the
square footage recommended to protect your family
and pets.
