Why Sturdy Safe Fire Liner Works The Best

  • Sturdy Safes Fire Insulator

    Ceramic Wool and High Temperature Glass

     

    • Made To Insulate

    These materials are used for insulating high temperature ovens and kilns.

    • Not Cheap

    It's the most expensive high temprature insulator on the market. Most safe companies who use it only give you a half inch thickness to save on materials. If you are serious about protecting your valuables, it's important not to cut corners.

    • Will Not Loose Structural Integrity

    The high temperature fire insulating blankest found in a sturdy safe will not loose structural integrity, even through fires such as depicted in our video clip that shows a completed burn down of a house.

    • 2300-2500 Degree UL Ratings

    The ceramic wool has a UL rating of 2500 deg. for the first hour, and 2300 degrees continuously after that, without breaking down. The High Temperature Glass has a UL Rating of 1000 degrees continuous, without breaking down. (This does not mean that the safe it 'self can stand 2500 degrees.)

    • Requires Inside Steel Liner

    Sturdy Safes fire liner requires the installation of a thick steel liner, which holds the insulating in place and provides solid mounting for shelving brackets. Unlike Sheetrock liners, that sometimes have problems with heavy shelves, because they drill their shelving right onto the carpeted covered insulator.

    • No Seam Problems

    It's pliable, and can easliey be fitted into the tightest of places without having open seam problems.

    • Takes Less Interior Space

    Total interior space it takes for our liner is 2 inches from each wall and 4 inches for the top and bottom. To get the same level of fire resistance from other insulating methods on the market, our competitors safes would need to add much greater thickness than that, which takes away from the interior space.

 

  • Why Sheetrock Liners Fail

  • Sturdy Safes Fire Insulator

    Sheetrock/ Fire Board/ Gypsum Board

     

    Whatever our competitors call it, it's the same thing. Most safe manufacturers use Sheetrock to fire line their safes. Many safes lined with Sheetrock must be unloaded from the back of a pickup very carefully because any sudden stop or jar can break the Sheetrock within. Regardless of their ratings, Sheetrock will not do as good in real life fires, because you are forced to contented with point of no return and cool off time. Which is not included in all fire tests done using this material.

    • Leaves Air Gaps

    Needs to be cut perfectly or it creates gaps at the seams. This is because it's not pliable.

    • It's Cheap

    It's the cheapest material that could be called an insulator and it breaks easy, so it doesn't add to the security.

    • Structural Integrity Is Devalued In A Fire

    It collects an retains heat like a dutch oven. This is why you do not see Sheetrock used around ovens to keep heat in. Once heated, it takes far longer to cool. Even when combining this material with a thin layer of ceramic wool, it still falls short of providing adequate protection. Gypsum Sheetrock begins to break down at 550 degrees. Fire rated Sheetrock turns into sand at 1250 degrees, but because it's capable of retaining heat, it makes it a poor choice as an insulator.

    • Not Made To Insulate

    Sheetrock, of any kind, was never made as an insulator. Fire rated Sheetrock is designed to stop the rapid advancement of open flames. Again, it's not made to insulate.
