FORTAYAENGINEERED PROTECTION
Protection belongs at home

Protection when it matters. A beautiful room every day.

FORTAYA can transform almost any suitable room in your home into a protective space for your family, including a bedroom, nursery, study, guest room, home office, pantry, storage room or walk-in wardrobe. Reinforced walls, protected openings, essential room systems and ceiling reinforcement where required work together as one engineered envelope. The protection is then integrated into a room designed for everyday life.

The FORTAYA solution

A safe place for your family, inside your home

When an emergency alert arrives, your family knows exactly where to go. FORTAYA creates a designated safe room inside your existing apartment or villa.

A completed FORTAYA safe room finished as an elegant bedroom
1
A complete protective envelope

Four protected walls, a protected door and window, ventilation and ceiling reinforcement where required are designed to work together as one system.

2
Engineered around your property

The room, existing structure and required protection level inform the final system specification.

3
Part of everyday life

The finished safe room remains a comfortable bedroom, nursery, study or living space.

Protection by design

Not simply a stronger room. A coordinated protection system.

Each component has a distinct role. Together, they create the protective envelope your family can reach within seconds.

Blast resistance

Designed to reduce the effects of blast pressure on the protected space.

Ballistic resistance

Protective components specified to the required tested ballistic performance.

Fragment protection

A reinforced envelope intended to reduce exposure to dangerous flying debris and fragments.

Protected openings

A reinforced door and window system integrated into the complete room design.

Fast installation

A focused installation programme designed to minimise disruption to your home.

Minimal footprint

Protection is added inside an existing room without constructing a separate shelter.

Everyday usability

The finished space remains a normal, comfortable and beautifully resolved room.

Managed end to end

Survey, engineering, supply, installation and completion are coordinated as one project.

“When the alert arrives, know exactly where to go.”

FORTAYA · Your safe room at home
How it works

Five stages. One existing room.

A clear, contained process from the original room to the finished space.

Existing room before the FORTAYA retrofit
Stage 01

Existing room

The room before the retrofit begins.

Protective wall structure, reinforced window and reinforced door anchored to the existing room
Stage 02

Anchoring

The protective wall structure, reinforced window and reinforced door are anchored in place.

Floor-to-ceiling protective panels being installed
Stage 03

Protective panels

Floor-to-ceiling protective panels are attached to the structure.

Stage 04

Services and finish

Electrical, communications and air-conditioning services are integrated before finishing.

Completed FORTAYA room furnished as a bedroom
Stage 05

Everyday use

Once the work is complete, the room can be painted and designed according to your preferences and used for any purpose.

Technical overview

Protection is only as strong as the complete system.

The final protection specification is established during the engineering stage. No single panel, door or window can protect a room unless every element is specified and integrated as one system.

On-site assessment

Every FORTAYA project begins with an assessment of your home

Following an initial consultation, suitable properties progress to a detailed on-site assessment. The AED 5,000 assessment fee covers the site visit, room measurements and preparation of your project proposal. If you proceed with the installation, the full assessment fee is credited towards the final project price.
