Consulting

Typically we will meet with the client and or security consultant to determine the specific threats and how to mitigate them. It is preferred to perform this consultation on-site as this will determine the best location for the proposed safe room in relationship to the rest of the residence and what is required to construct it. The design must also incorporate such practical matters as costs and available space and most important, the number of occupants and the time frame the safe room will be required to function for.

Saferooms

Gaffco specializes in the design / build of high end residential safe rooms, which offer blast-ballistic-forced entry and chemical gas protection for short and extended periods. Each safe room is custom designed to suit the particular clients requirements. We have completed installations in Africa, Europe, the Middle East as well as the Americas. We offer a full turnkey security solution, engineering, manufacturing, electronics integration, project planning and installation is handled in-house which ensures the level of discretion and professionalism our clientele expect.

The installation phase of the project plays a critical role in the process, particular attention is paid to project planning to ensure that a quality system is installed in a timely manner. State of the art composites that are light weight but also offer high protection levels are incorporated into our safe rooms, this leads to the elimination of weight issues which enables us to perform retrofits of existing locations in a short period of time. Our safe rooms are designed to meet or exceed UL, NIJ, DIN and CEN standards.

Entry Systems

Our doors are engineered to mitigate the highest threat levels yet blend seamlessly into the surrounding architecture through implementation of quality materials including light weight ballistic composites,, high end wood veneers, stainless steel and power coating finishes. Our high security locking systems are designed to offer the maximum protection levels available and are concealed within the door during the manufacturing phase which enhances the aesthetics of the finished product without compromising security.

Bio-Defense

Our air filtration systems combined with our alternate power sources are designed to offer protection from the effects of nuclear, chemical and biological gases for an extended period of time by creating an over-pressurized environment within the safe room. Our systems are designed to interphase with the existing electrical and air conditioning systems which creates a seamless automatic engagement of the bio defense unit in an emergency situation. Exterior and interior air monitors are incorporated enabling the safe room occupants to identify potential air borne contaminants on a real time basis.
