SafeWood Designs: Blending Aesthetics with Security

School safety measures are essential, but they shouldn’t come at the cost of creating a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing environment for students. SafeWood Designs understands this balance, providing custom wood products that blend security with beauty. As part of Project ASAP, SafeWood Designs contributes to creating school environments that are both safe and inviting, ensuring that students feel secure without feeling like they’re in a fortress.

SafeWood Designs Specializes in Bullet-resistant:

  • Interior Doors

  • Exterior Doors

  • Vestibules

  • Whiteboards

  • Other custom ballistic-resistant wood solutions

SafeWood Designs (SWD's) doors and patented wood frame assemblies are designed to prevent forced entry, protect against threats of invasion, and are intended to capture and retain attacking projectiles which markedly lessens the risk of ricochet and deters possible lateral damage.

Bullet-Resistant doors by SafeWood Designs are offered in UL752 Levels 1-8.

SWD's products rigorous testing included UL752 and tactical breach testing utilizing explosives. The most popular levels are UL752 Level 3 (all handguns up to a .44 magnum) and UL752 Level 8 doors (up to a .308 Caliber a pipular sniper round).

The Challenge of School Design:

One of the challenges schools face when implementing safety measures is maintaining an environment conducive to learning. Harsh, industrial-looking security features can make schools feel intimidating, which is counterproductive to creating a positive educational atmosphere. SafeWood Designs addresses this issue by offering security solutions that are both effective and aesthetically pleasing, helping schools achieve the best of both worlds.

SafeWood’s Unique Approach:

SafeWood Designs specializes in creating custom wood products that serve both functional and security purposes. This includes reinforced doors, secure entryways, and other architectural elements that are crafted to withstand external threats while enhancing the overall look and feel of the school. Their products are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing structures, offering security enhancements without sacrificing design integrity.

Applications in Schools:

SafeWood’s products are ideal for use in school entry points, classrooms, and administrative offices. By replacing standard doors and partitions with SafeWood’s reinforced options, schools can increase their security without making the environment feel oppressive. The result is a school that feels welcoming, yet is prepared to protect its students and staff from potential threats.

SafeWood Designs plays a crucial role in Project ASAP by offering security solutions that don’t compromise on aesthetics. Their products ensure that schools can implement necessary safety measures while maintaining a warm and welcoming environment for students. This approach is key to fostering a positive educational atmosphere where safety and comfort coexist.
