KIBO Stand-alone Shelter

​What is the KIBO Stand-alone Family Safe Room?

​

Kibo Family Safe Rooms are designed as short stay emergency ‘panic’ rooms to provide immediate and rapid protection from Disasters and armed threats. They are constructed using the standard Kibo focus military specification ballistic resistant units but finished with a timber cladding to both disguise the purpose of the building and to enable it to blend in with a domestic environment, be it a garden, yard or farm. It is designed not to be easily identified and therefore should not attract immediate attention from attackers. The buildings come fitted with roof mounted solar power, basic electrical supply, water, VHF/UHF antenna, lightening protection and gas masks. If required they can also be fitted with a WC, air conditioning and a full electrical distribution installation.

Why to use a KIBO Family Safe Room?

​

Having a safe room that looks like a garden house can provide several advantages. Here are a few reasons why it is better:
1. Disguise: A garden house design helps to conceal the fact that it is a safe room. This can be beneficial in situations where you want to keep the existence of the safe room a secret. By blending in with the surroundings, it reduces the chances of attracting attention or raising suspicion.
2. Camouflage: A garden house appearance allows the safe room to blend in with the natural environment. This camouflage can make it more difficult for potential intruders or threats to identify the safe room as a target. It provides an added layer of security by keeping the safe room inconspicuous.
3. Psychological Comfort: The aesthetics of a garden house can create a more calming and comfortable environment. In times of distress or emergency, being in a space that resembles a peaceful garden can help reduce anxiety and provide a sense of normalcy. This can be especially important for individuals who may need to spend extended periods of time in the safe room.
4. Functional Integration: A garden house design allows for the integration of functional elements such as windows, doors, and ventilation systems. These features can enhance the usability and livability of the safe room. It can also provide access to natural light and fresh air, making the space more pleasant to be in.
5. Increased Property Value: A safe room that is designed to look like a garden house can add value to your property. It can be seen as an attractive and unique feature that sets your property apart from others. This can be advantageous if you ever decide to sell your home.
Overall, having a safe room that resembles a garden house offers both practical and aesthetic benefits. It combines security with a visually pleasing and functional design, providing a hidden sanctuary within your property.
