What is the difference between the M-2x2 and M-3x2 models?
The models differ in size and entrance type. The M-2x2 is a compact model with up to 4 sleeping places, entered from above by ladder through a shaft in the roof. The M-3x2 is a more spacious model with up to 6 sleeping places and sloping stairs, the length of which we adapt to your plot. Both models have the same equipment and the same protection against moisture and corrosion.
How much does a metal bunker cost?
The price depends on the model, additional equipment, site conditions and whether you order just the product or installation as well. That is why we prepare a quote for each client. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call – we will advise you straight away and prepare a quote within 3–5 working days. If you install it yourself, budget separately for earthworks and, if needed, a drainage system.
How long does it take to manufacture and install a shelter?
Metal bunkers are one of the fastest solutions we offer. The models are already designed, with drawings and load calculations in place, so we can start manufacturing as soon as the order is confirmed, and manufacturing takes from 2 weeks. The body is delivered to the plot in one piece, so installation on site does not take long. We state the exact lead time in the quote, as it depends on the model, additional equipment and site preparation.
Can I install the shelter myself?
Yes. You can buy just the shelter with its equipment – it comes with instructions and recommendations on how to bury it correctly on your plot. We recommend entrusting the earthworks to experienced contractors and checking the groundwater level in advance. If you prefer, we will do all the work – from manufacturing to installation.
How is the shelter protected from moisture and rust?
The inside of the body is painted with anti-corrosion paint, and the outside is coated with sprayed polyurethane foam and waterproofing material. During installation, we use a protective membrane that protects the insulation during backfilling. If the groundwater level is high, a drainage system is installed around the shelter. This keeps the structure protected from moisture for a long time.
Does the shelter have ventilation?
Yes, both models have separate air supply and exhaust openings and a fan. A ventilation system with activated carbon filters, designed specifically for shelters, can also be installed to clean the incoming air. In a power cut, this system works in manual mode – you simply turn the handle. We select the ventilation system to suit the shelter's volume and the number of people.
What additional protection can I order?
At extra cost, we install blast valves, which stop a sudden pressure surge at the ventilation openings, and a shelter ventilation system with activated carbon filters. We also offer an armoured door. We will help you choose the right set of equipment for your needs during the consultation.
Can a metal bunker be moved to another location?
Yes. The metal body is a single unit, so if needed, it can be dug up and installed on another plot. This is convenient when moving house, selling the plot or redeveloping the site. We can also carry out the relocation work ourselves – excavation, transport and installation at the new location.
How can the shelter be used in peacetime?
In peacetime, the shelter serves as a dry, insulated storeroom: it is a convenient place to keep food and water supplies, tools or seasonal items. The metal bed-and-shelf units are suitable both for sleeping and for storing things. This way the shelter is always in use, maintained and ready, and your supplies are close at hand.
Can you design a shelter to my requirements?
Yes. Our design engineers prepare a custom design with load calculations and drawings: they calculate the required size and propose a layout, entrance type and equipment. If you need an official shelter that is added to the municipal list of shelters, we recommend reinforced concrete block bunkers. Once the shelter is designed, we manufacture, deliver and install it.
Who manufactures the shelters and how is quality ensured?
The shelter bodies are welded by experienced certified welders. The structures are manufactured according to drawings and load calculations prepared by engineers, and the products are subject to quality control. Before installation, we assess the site conditions and advise on the base and drainage required.
