Myth #2: You Should Only Store Valuables in Your Safe Room

People can certainly store valuables in their safe room if they feel that’s the most secure area in the home. But it is not the only function as it can be used as a secure place to retreat should a crisis occur.

Myth #3: They Are Too Small To Be Effective

The size of safe rooms in a home truly depends on the owner’s purpose for it. The room does not have to be small, and if requested, it could be large enough to accommodate multiple people. Most safe rooms have additional space for storage, making them more comfortable and useful.
