Protect Your Valuables from Fire
As personal items are usually irreplaceable, you may want to add extra protection in the form of an industry-approved fire safe. Certified safes, and in particular fire safes that comply with the superior European EN15659 standard for fire protection, are the industry leaders in ensuring your cherished belongings remain safe and secure.
We offer a range of robust, vigorously tested fire-resistant safes, designed to protect their contents in the event of a fire. If you take into consideration what type of valuables you will be storing inside the safe, you should have an indication as to what level of protection you will need. Computer media, for example, will degrade at just 125 degrees, whereas paper products can withstand temperatures of up to 350 degrees.

- Dimensions of the safe will not truly reflect the inner storage space — do your homework.
- Check that the safe's storage capacity is sufficient for the measurements of the items you intend to protect.
- It is imperative that the cash rating exceeds the value of the money or property stored inside.
- Jewellery and other valuable assets are normally covered for up to ten times the cash value.
- Not all safes are watertight — place contents in double zip lock bags or sealed plastic containers.
- Install at the corner where two outside walls meet for maximum protection and support.
Fire Safe FAQs
How long will a fire safe protect its contents from a fire?
It depends on the fire rating but the fire safe should be covered from 30 minutes upwards. Normally, fire safes with a fire rating of less than an hour will not provide adequate protection for paper or money.
What temperature can a fire safe withstand?
Fire safes are rated according to the number of minutes they can withstand fire at a specific temperature. Computer media will degrade at just 125 degrees, whereas paper products can withstand temperatures of up to 350 degrees. Choose your fire safe rating accordingly.
Is there a preferred place to install a safe in your home?
It would depend on your type of property but one of the most secure places to install your safe would be at the corner where two outside walls meet. This provides the most protection and support for a heavy safe.
Are fire safes also waterproof?
Not all fire safes are watertight and are therefore susceptible to flood water or water from fire hoses. To prevent such an occurrence from damaging your goods, we recommend placing all contents in double zip lock bags, dry bags, or sealed plastic containers.
What standard should I look for in a fire safe?
We recommend fire safes that comply with the superior European EN15659 standard for fire protection. These are the industry leaders in ensuring your cherished belongings remain safe and secure.
