WHAT IS A PANIC ROOM?
Panic rooms are extremely high-tech and equipped with highly sophisticated equipment, occupants should have to stay in the room for only 20mins to an hour in the event of home invasion
To understand the panic room, we have to understand why people want them. The most advanced panic room can be expensive due the materials and equipment inside, so only the wealthy can afford them. But in the wake of increased crimes in the UK, basic panic rooms are becoming more popular. They're constructed of bullet and fire proof materials and are stocked with all necessary emergency needs

Safe rooms are the single most important means for reliably separating the home owner or employees from intruders while providing a safe place to await the arrival of police or on-site security
The modern Panic rooms feature new technology and are far more advanced in terms of safety devices.
The primary focus of a viable and efficient Security Intrusion Detection System (alarm system) should be to warn and provide occupants of your home with sufficient time to access the ‘safe room’ and avoid confrontation with an intruder. True, although most regard the system as a deterrent, it is at the same time, a warning system, allowing you and your loved ones ample time to access your ‘safe room’. In order to facilitate a safe outcome, it is vital to ensure quick and easy access to a safe location (‘Panic room’) and to remain secure until the police or security company respond.
Some of our clients are building a Panic room in their property for safe keeping items such as artwork, rare items, computer hard drives, cash jewellery etc. The Panic room has so many safety features that will keep safe at all times.
You cannot put a value on someone’s life and keeping you and your family safe is important. The construction of a high-end Panic room starts at £25,000 and can reach beyond £250,000 depending on amenities.
