The ability to hide the location of the safe is preferred, as someone that breaks into your home or business would not know about the floor safe. This adds an additional level of security because some safes are picked up and taken by robbers, with plans of breaking into the safe at another location.

Much like a wall safe, a floor safe provides the ability to add an additional level of concealment to hide it from visibility. This can be done by placing a rug or small mat over the location of the floor safe. As long as the surface remains relatively flat, this can help convey the message that there is no safe in the room.

A Floor safe can also provide a high level of protection from a fire. This is especially true, when the floor safe is placed in a floor made of concrete. Unlike being surrounded by wood, a floor safe will likely not be exposed to fire, if the area around it is also fire resistance. The doors of a floor safe are typically the only exposed areas of the safe. These doors can be both fire resistance, but are also likely resistance to being pried open by a crowbar.

Another characteristic of floor safes is there protection from water. Unlike wall safes, floor safes may offer a bit more resistance to water. This is obviously because of the location of the safe. However, this also means that the floor safe may not have the convenience of an electronic panel. This is because you would not want the electronics to be damaged as a result of being exposed to moisture.

In summary, a floor safe offers protection for your valuables from theft, fire and water. Although the installation of a floor safe may be a bit more involved than the typical safe, the added benefit it offers to conceal the location of your valuables is well worth the investment. A floor safe adds to your piece of mind while keeping your belongings protected.
