We Install And Sell 3 Kinds Of Tornado Shelters in Durant
Coal Tar Epoxy is a heavy duty, high build protective coating which has high durability, is resistant to many corrosive reagents, and is excellent at sealing out moisture. It’s commonly used in marine and industrial environments. It’s largely applied to steel to protect it from corrosion and rust. It is frequently seen on steel vessel hulls, underground water and petroleum tanks and pipelines, offshore oil rigs, and dam gates. Our Coal Tar Epoxy underground tornado shelter is made of 10 gauge sheet metal. All welds are leak-tested to ensure they won’t allow ground water to seep into the shelter. After the shelter is fabricated, we apply a thick coating of Coal Tar Epoxy to the outside of the shelter. The Coal Tar Epoxy bonds to the steel and serves to protect the exterior of the steel shield from corrosion and rust. The inside of the storm shelter is painted with red oxide primer paint to protect the steel on the interior from corrosion and rust.

Our Hot Dip Galvanized tornado shelters are manufactured from TEN gauge sheet metal and flow tested ─ providing protection from corrosion and rust for a long-lasting, maintenance free tornado shelter. With a FIFTY year guarantee Hot Dip Galvanizing is the process of dipping fabricated steel into a kettle or vat containing molten zinc. While the steel is in the kettle, the iron from the steel metallurgically reacts with the molten zinc to form a tightly-bonded alloy coating that provides superior corrosion protection to steel. Using zinc to protect steel from corrosion (hot-dip galvanizing) is a 150-year-old practice! Our Galvanized FlatSafe tornado shelter is made of 10 gauge sheet metal. All welds are leak-tested to guarantee they will not allow ground water to seep into the shelter. After the protector is fabricated, the device is Hot-Dip Galvanized to protect your investment for an expected FIFTY + years.

The single-piece lid is bigger than the frame of the saferoom opening and sits above the framework, not down within the frame. Our lid system is MUCH stronger than the typical 2-piece lid system offered by everybody else and provides more than adequate ventilation to the occupants.
