Bradenton, Florida - Efficient Wall Systems announces a new "Safe
Room" that can withstand winds in excess of 250 miles per hour -
that's 120 miles over the County of Sarasota and Manatee code
requirements. According to Herman Guevara, VP Sales & Marketing this
Safe Room can be added to any home, or stand-alone. The construction
includes steel reinforced solid concrete walls, poured concrete
roof, and a reinforced steel door. The Safe Room can be designed
with or without air-conditioning and typically only takes a few days
to install.
The quick installation is due in part to the pre-manufacturing of
these hurricane-tested walls; aka the E-Wall. These walls were
tested at Certified Testing Laboratories, in Orlando, for Miami-Dade
code approvals, "the most stringent code approval body for hurricane
testing in the U.S."
Herman Guevara, vice president comments, "We were pleased to see
just how well the newly designed walls withstood to wind pressure.
They exceeded even our expectations."
Efficient Wall Systems president, Oscar Stefanutti, states, "We are
proud to be able to offer this timely product to our clients. The
peace of mind the Safe Room provides pays for itself in the
unfortunate event it ever gets put into use."
Stefanutti says that recent hurricane activity from Charley proved
to their customers what he already knew ;
"We didn't even lose a shingle (during Hurricane Charley) our home
was like a fortress. We initially had our reservations but we are
certainly glad we did it now!" states Bob & Sherry Stevens, Port
Charlotte, Florida who built an E-Wall home.
