Panic room installation in Melbourne
Melbourne's prestige property market — particularly on the Mornington Peninsula, in Toorak and South Yarra, and across the Eastern suburbs — has seen growing demand for integrated security rooms as part of new luxury builds and high-end renovations.
Melbourne — local considerations
Melbourne's building stock includes significant amounts of brick veneer and double brick construction, particularly in established eastern and bayside suburbs. Double brick walls provide excellent inherent resistance and can significantly reduce the cost of a retrofit installation.
