Igloo goes hi-tech with fibreglass

Tags: fibreglass, igloo, Igloo Satellite Cabin, polar region, polyurethane insulation

A few years back, reading Marmon Silko’s Storyteller gave me an idea as to how Inuit American live in beautifully made fairy tale like Igloos. And then, after seeing numerous shows on Discovery on how the teams of explorers have to live in Igloos for research, I developed a special bond with the Igloo or Snowhouse. It is said that Inuit have eleven words in their language to differentiate different type of snow, a distinction that you must know if you have to construct an Igloo.
So, when I read about the artificial Igloo created by Icewall, it was a reaction of mixed feelings. As much as I cry the loss of the real Igloo, I understand that this new one is a great technological advancement.

The Igloo Satellite Cabin as it is called have been in use for a long time because of its unique features. The best feature is that it is not just suitable for polar regions but also tropical areas. And one need not reconstruct the Igloo as it can be transferred by helicopter from one place to another. They are ideally used for exploration and research, but travel companies are vying after it, realising the great potential it has for eco-tourism.
The Igloo Satellite Cabin Is made up of fibreglass and polyurethane insulation that has allows it to withstand extreme weather conditions. More than one Igloo can be inter connected to each other by way of tunnels to fit an entire team of people. And, they are available in an array of colors to suit your fancy.

SAFE Security measures Ensure a Safe Home

Tags: detection, SAFE, Security, Strategically Armoured and Fortified Environments, surveillance

The evolution of home security has been fraught with bad decisions, amusing gadgets and amazing technology. From the age of Spike-styled bulldogs that becoming lovable puppies the moment a ball is thrown at them, we have come to a time where people rarely depend upon live subjects for their protection. An old night guard may still be seen snoring away at the gates but everyone knows that your house and everything inside is protected by the most recent technological security measures.
Strategically Armoured and Fortified Environments (SAFE) has been in the business of serving and protecting for almost 40 years and apart from the fact that just the name of the company is enough to make us feel ‘safe’, they are doing a great job in the field. SAFE’s security measures are based on the principle of isolation where a safe room is created within the household, probably in the master bedroom. The room becomes inaccessible from the outside, built from ballistic Swedish steel, Italian craftsmanship and surveillance and detection equipment from Israel.

As the best security measure available to the public, anyone trying to enter a SAFE fortress should remain warned that once inside they may be locked up forever, bound by the protective chains.
