After a number of tornado shelters made national news headlines after floating out of the ground last summer, many consumers are double checking quality before purchasing the potentially life saving products
MIDDLETOWN, OH / ACCESSWIRE / January 25, 2016 / After news outlets reported several tornado shelters floating out of the ground in Oklahoma and Texas during 2015 concerned customers are more carefully considering quality, anchoring and installation procedures as they research storm shelters. Tornado shelters are manufactured in many sizes, shapes and by many different methods. The design, installation and materials used to make underground storm shelters vary widely in quality and price. In some areas many different shelters are easily available, but consumers are educating themselves and looking beyond manufacturers in their back yard to choose this lifesaving product.
A growing number of tornado shelter consumers are looking for quality certifications as protection that the shelter they purchase will last as long as expected. Confusion and biased opinions from organizations claiming to represent quality manufacturers have prompted deeper independent research by consumers. The value of the money spent on this product can be predicted in the expected lifespan of the unit. Customers incorporating the shelter into new construction are especially concerned that the unit will last as long as the building because an in-ground unit that became damaged or developed issues would be difficult or impossible to remove.
The Granger ISS In-ground Safety Shelter was designed to be long lasting, durable and easy to use. By using polyethylene and the rotational molding process to manufacture, Granger Plastics has developed an extremely strong, easy to install storm shelter. Polyethylene has a lifespan exceeding other materials typically used to manufacture tornado shelters. It can be expected to function for many lifetimes with only a small amount of maintenance. This is well suited for interior new construction or exterior installations. Existing homeowners also have many installation options.
The reverse taper design allows this unit to be installed without an additional anchoring system which avoids common installation issues such as added expense and anchoring mistakes as well as speeds up installation. A huge benefit to consumers is the manufacturer's guarantee that as long as installed by an approved installer the Granger ISS is guaranteed not to float. The double wall construction of the underground storm shelter is filled with non-VOC foam adding rigidity and acting as an insulator to make the interior as comfortable as possible. The Granger ISS offers the most advanced design and features available to households needing protection form storms and other emergencies.
Most consumers heavily research a purchase like that similar to a car or appliance. There is information available on the internet as well as a number of outlets to see storm shelters. Customers of this type of product make the effort to know what they are purchasing for safety first but are beginning to weigh as heavy on value, how long the unit will last and how trustworthy the manufacturer and quality of the product are. Many customers who have had to replace a unit due to floating or other deterioration rendering it unusable are choosing the polyethylene Granger ISS to ensure never having to replace a unit again.
The Granger ISS is manufactured by Granger Plastics, a division of Granger Industries. Granger Industries also includes ForeverSafe Products and Granger Aerospace Products. Granger Plastics Company is a world recognized rotational molder manufacturing a variety of custom and proprietary products.
