Across the country, more aluminum enclosures are misused as makeshift shelters. Shockingly, some enclosure manufacturers rely on spray-in insulation, which may actually be flammable and can compromise long-term protection. At Safe-T-Cover, our FIRE RATED enclosures are engineered to deliver dependable safety and meet higher performance standards.
Standard aluminum enclosures are often not made to withstand fire risks, especially in emergency or misuse scenarios. Fires can compromise both infrastructure and public safety. That’s why fire-rated solutions aren’t just a benefit — they’re essential.
Our new FIRE RATED enclosures are built to minimize fire risk. Featuring Foil Class A, NFPA 285-compliant panels, these enclosures use a closed-cell foam and glass fiber construction that resists ignition and prevents fire spread, safeguarding both systems and surroundings.
All standard or custom Safe-T-Cover aluminum enclosures can be upgraded to FIRE RATED, giving you the same strength, climate control and modular design, plus:
Our fire rated enclosures consist of closed-cell Class A polyisocyanurate foam sandwiched between glass fiber-reinforced foil facers, with aluminum or fire-rated materials used for interior surfaces. These materials comply with Foil Class A and NFPA 285 standards, ensuring strong resistance to ignition and limiting the spread of fire.
Fire-Resistant: This refers to materials that resist ignition or combustion, often without formal testing or proof.
Fire Rated: This indicates a material or system has been tested under standardized fire conditions (e.g. NFPA 285) and has received a quantified performance rating, such as a “1-hour fire rating.” Fire rating is a certified, measurable level of protection.
FIRE RATED enclosures are the same 1.5” thickness as Safe-T-Cover’s standard enclosures.
