Proven by Science

The building science experts at DuPont have revolutionized severe weather protection for the home with the DuPont™ StormRoom™, the  only in-home shelter reinforced with DuPont™ KEVLAR®. The same life-saving fiber used in bullet-resistant vests, KEVLAR® is, pound for pound, five times stronger than steel. These specially reinforced walls form a virtually impenetrable barrier to protect families from harm.

The DuPont™ StormRoom™ is specially designed to endure wind speeds of up to 250 miles per hour. Independent impact tests show that the DuPont™ StormRoom™ withstood repeated hits by building timbers fired at speeds equivalent to those experienced in Category 5 hurricanes and F5 tornados.  

There’s also the added insurance of knowing that the DuPont™ StormRoom™ is solidly anchored to concrete foundations with chemically-set anchors powerful enough to help resist the wind uplift generated by the most powerful storms.
