Rotational Molding innovation, the Granger ISS Storm Shelter appears on the cover of the Rotational Molding industry publication, RotoWorld Magazine
MIDDLETOWN, OH / ACCESSWIRE / May 18, 2015 / Readers of the Rotational Molding Industry's RotoWorld magazine did not have to look long or hard to be reminded of the potential tornado destruction and devastation that emboldens fear to a number of US families this time of the year, as the highly lauded rotomolding innovation, the Granger ISS Storm Shelter was placed on the highly coveted front cover for the latest edition.
The month of May continues to warrant a number of storm and tornado outbreaks across a number of states in the tornado alley areas, including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois and more. After a historically slow start to the 2015 tornado season, a number of families across the Plains and Mid-Western states have scrambled to add an underground tornado shelter to their existing safety plan to help protect their family and loved ones.
The Granger ISS, In-ground Safety Shelter, is a seamless rotationally molded unit consisting of a double-walled construction. The double wall construction features (2) impressive one-half inch thick walls, which is complemented by a VOC exempt foam, for additional structure, rigidity and reduced condensation. Condensation can plague both above ground and underground shelters, contingent upon the location and installation. The build of condensation can cause rusting, paint issues or even deterioration in structural integrity. Plastic tornado shelters however, do not have any concerns with rusting, rotting or paint popping off, like their steel counterparts. The rotational molding process provides storm shelter quality advantages by eliminating a number of opportunities for human error that could be attributed to welding, mixing concrete or even spraying fiberglass.
Rotational Molding provides tornado shelters a quality advantage, as the opportunity for human error is greatly reduced or virtually eliminated that could be attributed to welding, mixing concrete or even spraying fiberglass. While most Rotational Molding ovens are PLC controlled, Granger Plastics quality assurance programs add another layer of safety measures to ensure the storm shelters are built to the highest of quality standards.
Granger Plastics holds a quality control certification issued by the Federal Aviation Administration, which forces strict adherence to the highest of quality standards. Granger's underground shelter, which also meets or exceeds FEMA 320 standards and the applicable ICC 500 standards, offers consumers a superb level of near absolute protection. The unit's door also meets or exceeds both FEMA 320 and FEMA 361 debris impact standards for both below ground and above ground tornado shelters. Granger successfully completed these tests utilizing the same door for both tests.
Many other storm shelters offer little innovation as most of them are cookie cutter duplicates of previously designed units. They often lack in innovative materials or design, which is why many of the shelters have the same flaws as one another. The Granger ISS offers a patented, innovative design, which allows for installation in virtually any location, without the requirements of a costly, labor intensive anchoring system. This allows for the underground shelter to be installed in approximately 4 hours.
