Phoenix Fireproof Safes

Fireproof safes are designed to protect valuable documents or digital media in the event of a fire. Fire safes are tested to ensure that they can withstand heat and flames either using in-house testing or third party independent testing. Being Ireland’s leading supplier of fireproof safes, Allsafes.ie recommends that all businesses ensure that their safes are independently tested and certified.
The fire resistance of a safe is a measure of the minimum survival time the safe will last in a fire. The higher the fire rating, the longer it will last and more durable it will be.
Fire resistant safes are rated for paper or data. Due to the fragile nature of digital media, data rated safes will require that, during a fire, their internal temperature will remain below a particular temperature, so as to protect the digital media inside. This is particularly important if you are storing magnetic media, eg. tapes, ZIP disks, DAT tapes, VHS tapes etc. Temperatures above 57°C can be hazardous to these fragile items, and a basic flame retardant safe might not provide the protection required. Due to the more rigorous testing required for data certification, all digital media safes will protect paper also.
Many freestanding fireproof safes will have a certain level of burglary protection. These fire proof safes are perfect for using as home safes and small business safes.
