Introduction<br />

to Safe Room<br />

Design<br />

You’re a single parent with a<br />

young child or a wealthy businessperson<br />

with a very public profile,<br />

and you’re concerned about<br />

recent developments in the news.<br />

You need to know that you have<br />

a place to retreat to if someone<br />

breaks in, if your house comes<br />

under attack, or if there’s been a<br />

natural disaster or prolonged<br />

blackout. What are your options?<br />

Sandwiched within the wall panels<br />

are bullet-resistant Kevlar sheets;<br />

in other cases, Gaffco Ballistics will<br />

add layers of radiation-resistant,<br />

lead-lined sheetrock.<br />

Doors will always be vulnerable—<br />

but steel plates disguised beneath<br />

custom woodwork offer an invisible<br />

level of protection against bullets<br />

and even the most advanced<br />

breaching tools.<br />

Bulletproof glass is the minimum<br />

standard for home fortification.<br />

Increasingly, Gaffco Ballistics<br />

has been adding a layer of bombproof<br />

film to protect against<br />

explosive attacks.<br />

Tom Gaffney is your man if you want peace of mind combined with quality<br />

craftsmanship. Gaffney also fortifies offices, banks, and boardrooms using<br />

high-end aftermarket finishes and custom woodwork. If you want your handcarved<br />

oak library door to withstand a .38 caliber bullet—because it secretly<br />

contains ballistic Kevlar plates—call Gaffco. gaffco.com<br />
