Rotational Molding Resource
The Granger ISS tornado shelter offers a level of durability and reliability that is not possible by other underground or above ground units. Granger's trademarked design offers industry leading advantages that are not available for shelters made of less resistant materials, such as fiberglass, carbon steel or concrete. Polyethylene is not deteriorated by moisture unlike many other materials. Moisture-absorbing materials such as fiberglass will decay, rot, mold and mildew, as will concrete which also will fracture and crack, or steel which will certainly rust. Polyethylene simply has none of those issues because water does not deteriorate the material. This can reduce worry and maintenance for your family and increase your return on your shelter investment!
The Granger ISS is not only made of a very different material but also designed and manufactured very differently. The double walled Polyethylene construction is filled with special foam. This yields a fortified unit with distinctive advantages over various other shelter designs. With a considerably faster installation than other shelter types plus the ability to be installed in virtually any sort of location the Granger ISS is the most convenient shelter to get in the ground with the sturdiest construction available. Skillfully produced, extensively tested and providing the greatest level of protection, the ISS is your answer to securing your family.

The door to a tornado shelter is the most important element securing you from danger. There are numerous shelter doors available made by companies with a varying degree of experience. For many companies critical shelter elements are outsourced without direct oversight. This can often result in parts being produced by inexperienced laborers. Some manufacturers offer lower quality items and materials that are of poor design. These units often have unreliable construction, tooling or manufacturing. Any tornado shelter consumer should take time to consider where and how their shelter is being manufactured.
It is also essential to take into consideration the style of tornado shelter or storm shelter door prior to your purchase. Ask the manufacturer if the design is as secure as possible when installed or is there a risk of floating? Is it easy to get in and out of the unit? Does the supplier offer a free life time warranty? Does the door have a service warranty? Is it able to be removed by emergency responders if necessary? Does it meet the greatest FEMA guidelines for security? Is the door vulnerable to rust, mold or disintegration of any sort?

Watch, listen and learn! As the Professor gives an informative lesson on differences of Underground Tornado Shelter doors. Learn why the Granger ISS offers the industry's best door protection!
Research is the best way to know you are choosing the most effective protection for your family and there are many questions to ask about your shelter door. Is my door able to withstand the elements? Could my door be weakened or even deteriorate throughout making my shelter unsafe to be inside during a weather emergency? Precisely how will water, temperature and UV affect the material of the door?
Just as important as the materials comprising the shelter body are the materials making up the door. Some materials lend themselves to creating issues due to design flaw or potential material deterioration. Some materials are heavier, and create a door that is difficult to open. Some doors initially adhere to or surpass FEMA debris impact testing, but it is not known exactly how the doors will hold up after they begin to rust or deteriorate in the field. Poor design can also lead to danger such as improper shock placement, jamming mechanisms or inferior locking systems. Don't subject your family members to these on-going worries!
