What's the difference between "fireproof" and "fire-resistant" when shopping for cabinets?

Technically, no cabinet is completely immune to fire at any temperature and duration — "fireproof" is a marketing term, not a technical one. The accurate description is "fire-resistant," and what matters is whether the cabinet carries a UL listing that specifies its tested rating class and time duration. Products sold as "fire-resistant" without any UL rating may have minimal insulation and provide little real protection. Always ask for the UL listing number. Every fireproof product at FindOfficeFurniture.com carries a UL listing — call 888-719-4960 to confirm the specs.
