WHY CERAMIC COULD BE BAD FOR A SAFE FIRE LINER

1. Not compressing ceramic enough can make it loose and fall within the safe. Safes that claim to have "air gaps" or "cooling gaps" (which basically means; an air break with nothing there) will have this problem. These companies hang the ceramic on hooks, which have little support. It is important to mention, that over compression of any insulation material will cause the loss of insulating value. Sturdy understands this so we don't over compress, and we know just the right amount of compression required to prevent shake down of the material and still provide superior insulating value. The right amount of compression also makes it to where the shake down of gravity will have no effect on the position of the insulating material between the inner and outer wall. For instance, when a safe bounces all the way to the east cost in the back of a truck, that material better stay put and not move. If the insulation is movable it's usually because they hang the ceramic on several tiny posts like nails, this may work for gravity, but truck travel will cause shake down, leaving air gaps at the top of the safe. Proper application of insulation is as important as the liner it's self.   2. Some safe companies might not give you enough of what's needed to be fully protected. They will only give about .5 to 1 inch of ceramic with cheap sheetrock and call it good, however, it's not good enough. Sturdy Safe knows this because we tested this method out in actual house burn downs.   3. Some safe companies combine 1 inch of ceramic with sheet rock, but in our testing, as well as firemen testimonials, we found it to not work nearly good enough.   4. Some safe companies realize how expensive these insulators are, and use them sparingly. So sparingly, that they wont even line the whole safe with the material. They would only get the top and the bottom lined, not the body of the safe.
