What Is StormVault?
A Tested Steel Safe Room, Built Into Your Home
A StormVault shelter is a heavy-duty steel safe room manufactured and installed by our team to give your family a reliable place to ride out violent weather. Each unit is engineered to FEMA and ICC/NSSA standards and rated to withstand EF4 and EF5 tornado winds and flying debris.
Whether set beneath your garage floor, bolted down as an above-ground room, or buried in your yard, every shelter is built for one purpose: to keep the people you love safe.

Before You Decide
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of storm shelters does StormVault offer?
StormVault manufactures four styles of steel tornado shelters, and we can custom build to your exact specifications. In-ground garage shelters are installed beneath the garage floor with a heavy flush-mounted steel hatch, so you can reach safety without leaving your home. Above-ground shelters are engineered from thick, welded steel and anchored securely to a concrete slab, with walk-in access and no stairs. Below-ground shelters are buried securely in the yard and built from reinforced steel and concrete, with a heavy angled entry door and steps. Compact above-ground in-garage units bolt into the corner of a garage for homes without room for an in-ground install.
Are your shelters rated for major tornadoes?
Every StormVault shelter is built from heavy-gauge steel with reinforced doors and engineered to FEMA and ICC/NSSA standards. Each shelter is rated to withstand EF4 and EF5 tornado winds and flying debris, and includes ventilation systems and emergency lighting.

We sell and install shelters across Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. StormVault is locally owned and operated, and you can visit us at 534 George Oakley Road, Slaughters, KY 42456.
What is installation like?
