Fire could destroy your business! In fact, eight businesses burn almost every hour in the United States resulting in nearly $1.5 billion in annual losses. Unfortunately, seven out of ten have not adequately protected their vital records.

Don't be one of those businesses that gets hit by fire and loses customer, personnel and tax files, accounts receivable and records of compliance. When that information is destroyed, a business often fails. Survival is possible, but preparation is necessary.
How long do you think paper records will last in a standard metal file cabinet at 800° F? Or how much information will you be able to retrieve when a disk has been soaked in water? It's not just fire, but the resulting heat, smoke and water that must be guarded against, too. Schwab has developed quality insulated files that provide guranteed protection against these elements for paper, diskettes, tape cartridges, CDs and all other forms of media in today's workplace.

the average business fire in the United States burns at approximately 800° F for 20 minutes. Schwab's insulated files are Underwriters Laboratory (UL) classified to provide protection at temperatures reaching 1700° F during a one-hour test. The UL label is assurance that Schwab files have passed the test. The Schwab label guarantees that the contents are safe.

Superior Quality
Schwab uses Insulite insulation in every fire file. Insulite is the most efficient insulation on the market today and provides UL classified protection. Remember that thicker insulation does not mean better insulation. Insulite allows Schwab files to offer features like thinner walls, lighter weight and recessed handles without compromising fire protection.

Schwab files look great, too. The seamless construction of Schwab files has a much more attractive appearance than the old cap and sleeve method. Each beautiful exterior comes in a variety of pleasing colors which make them an attractive addition to any office. Many interior options are also available to accommodate specific filing needs.
