ROOF
The roof offers valuable real estate for solar panels or rain water collection systems. However, the roof and eaves are also susceptible to fire and wind. Special care should be taken to consider both the opportunities and the vulnerabilities of this critical component.
building envelope
emp protection
Shield equipment or the entire home from EMP or solar flare.
doors
Doors can make an easy entrance for a fire or intruder.
Note: the door itself may not be the weakest link. Make sure the entire door assembly can withstand the pressure.
Designing, building and retrofitting for security means making sure there are no weak links in your home's protection.
windows
Standard glass is vulnerable to extreme temperature, weather, and forced entry. Ballistic rated windows or protective shutters can shield these entry points into the home.
basement
Basement, storm shelter, root cellar or bunker. An underground space can enhance your family's lifestyle while providing excellent protective capabilities. Temperature control, air filtration and security features are important features to consider when designing an underground space.
