Room or bank vault is a safe and secure place to store money, valuables, records and documents in bulk. In addition, the safe room suggests the possibility of sheltering people during emergency situations. Thanks to this feature, the shelter was called Panic Room (panic room).
Safe rooms: purpose and areas of use
Specially equipped Panic Rooms are specially protected indoor spaces where you can hide for the duration of the threat (breaking with penetration, natural disasters and disasters, shelling or hostilities) until the arrival of special services. If necessary, the secret room can be equipped with its own ventilation and air cleaning system, as well as life support equipment, including a diesel generator, a bathroom, a refrigeration unit, a dedicated telephone line and independent surveillance cameras.
In modern conditions, safe rooms are actively used in:
- private houses;
- high-rise buildings;
- educational institutions;
- medical centers;
Regardless of the field of activity, a safe room will be the best solution for a company or organization that is concerned about the life and well-being of employees. In addition, such safe rooms are used as a bank vault in private ownership and the commercial industry. Such repositories are most popular in:
- credit organizations;
- pawnshops;
- industrial enterprises;
- cultural institutions;
- art galleries and museums.
At the same time, valuables can be located in additional burglary-resistant safes for bank vaults located in the room itself.
Safe storage: design features
Modern safe rooms can be monolithic (erected during the construction phase of the building) and modular. Modular bank vaults are gaining particular popularity. This is due to the fact that such a protected space can be equipped at any stage of the operation of the building, without additional planning and design surveys.
The modular safe room is manufactured under industrial conditions with subsequent delivery and installation directly in the building. Among the advantages of this approach:
- organization of shelter in any room;
- creating a space of the required form;
- choosing the right size;
- the possibility of using capital walls;
- relocate storage if necessary;
- high speed and ease of installation.
Among the structural parts of the safe room :
- Armored wall panels. These designs guarantee reliable protection against penetration. The thickness of the element depends on the burglary resistance class and can vary from 40 to 100 mm. The width and height of the panels are also selected depending on the purpose of the storage and the needs of the customer.
- Floor panels. Structures of a similar class and purpose prevent undermining or penetration from the lower floors of the building.
- Ceiling panels. They are used when creating a shelter ceiling if its level is lower than the capital level or there is a need for reinforcement and construction to avoid penetration from the roof or upper floor.
- Armored door. Access to the secret room involves the use of a burglar-proof door equipped with the required number of locks. The thickness, dimensions and characteristics of the door leaf depend on the burglary resistance class and strictly meet all the mandatory requirements of regulatory documents.
Additionally , bank vaults and secret rooms can be equipped with a barred door or an armored emergency hatch.
The shelter can be made by welding or using plates, angles and bolts.
