DryLight® Our exclusive lightweight concrete sets the gold standard for fire protection. DryLight® is 19% lighter than drywall (the industry standard), which means we can use thicker protective steel without making your safe impossibly heavy. When fire strikes, DryLight® provides superior heat resistance to keep your valuables safe longer. Elite Fire Protection Unmatched in the Industry Fire Clay This dense ceramic material is built to withstand extreme temperatures, up to 3,002°F. Fire clay has been trusted for centuries in kilns and furnaces because it simply doesn't break down under intense heat. It's significantly denser than standard materials, providing excellent long-lasting fire protection with proven durability. Enhanced Fire Protection Exceptional Heat Resistance High-Strength Concrete Our TL-15 and TL-30 concrete formulations deliver exceptional fire and burglary protection. These aren't your typical concrete mixes, they're specifically engineered to be over 160% denser than standard materials. This creates an incredibly robust barrier that maintains its protective qualities even under extreme conditions. Advanced Fire Protection Best of both worlds Drywall Drywall provides reliable basic fire protection through its gypsum core, which releases water vapor when heated to slow fire spread. While it offers solid protection for essential documents and valuables, its layered construction allows more heat penetration compared to seamless concrete fills, making it best suited for standard protection needs. Basic Fire Protection Industry Standard Your safe's fire rating isn't just about thick steel walls. The fill material used is what actually protects your valuables when temperatures soar. Different materials offer different levels of protection, and understanding your options helps you choose the right safe for your needs.
