Fire Water Resistant Safes

Fire and Water resistant safes are good for either commercial or residential use. Besides protection from burglary, they also offer significant protection from fire and water damages. Some fire & water resistant safes can provide twice more fire resistance than ordinary home safes. As a rule, such units come for sale with really thick walls and door. Fireproof water-resistant safe has airtight construction. It helps prevent water from getting inside in case of fire when a fireman’s hose or sprinklers are used. Depending on size, exterior design and included features, the price for the safe varies from a couple of hundreds to a few thousands.

Size

Safes with such characteristics vary in size. It means that a future safe owner can buy a safe with the dimensions they need. However, a small water resistant and fire-resistant home safe is quite a popular model. An example of such a model features 12 1/8" (H) x 16 1/2" (W) x 14" (D) exterior dimensions.

Almost all safes of this kind offer ultimate fire protection. As a rule, a fire resistant storage can have a 2 Hour for 1700°F fire rating. 2 hour fire safe & water resistant safe means that the content of the storage can remain undamaged up to 2 hours in case of fire.

Are fire and water resistant safes waterproof?

Water resistant is absolutely different from waterproof. Waterproof means that the water will never get inside the safe even being immersed into water fully. Fire and water resistant safes are not waterproof but they can protect content from some amount of water (fire sprinklers, for example) for a limited period of time.

Locking mechanism

Fire and water resistant safes should also provide a high level of protection from burglars. It is possible only in case a safe is built from strong steel and equipped with a sophisticated locking mechanism.
