Fiche-Bauche Carena

Atelier Boonen takes care of the delivery, installation and anchoring of safes entirely in-house. We never use external transporters or installers. Using specialised transport equipment, we deliver discreetly and safely, including to upper floors or hard-to-reach locations. Safes are always wrapped in opaque film and transported in unmarked vehicles to avoid curious eyes.

For safes up to 1000 kg, anchoring is mandatory under the European standard EN 1143-1. We carry out this anchoring carefully, using chemical anchors or adapted solutions depending on the substrate. Where necessary, we use stair climbers and protective materials to safeguard floors, walls and staircases.

The installation is always carried out safely, efficiently and with respect for the building. This guarantees you a professionally executed installation offering the strongest and most durable solution. In 95% of cases, delivery, installation and anchoring are included in the price — at no extra charge.

The insurable value of a safe is always an indicative guideline. It is calculated under standard conditions, for example storage in an unmonitored and unsecured building.

In practice, insurers can significantly increase coverage when additional security measures are in place, such as an alarm system, CCTV or a high-security building. This is especially relevant for the storage of precious metals, jewellery or diamonds.

That is why it is important to discuss your specific situation directly with your insurer. Together, we can determine which safe and which measures are required to ensure your valuables are fully covered.

Technically, the Fichet-Bauche Carena and the Fichet-Bauche Millium are equivalent safes: both are certified according to EN 1143-1 and built with thin walls filled with Fichet-Bauche's patented Gradium composite. The difference lies in the design.

The Carena came first, with an innovative concept: a curved door and a shutter concealing the locks. In the early 2000s, the Millium joined the range, with a cleaner look: a flat door and surface-mounted locks.

The Millium is by far the best-selling Fichet-Bauche safe today. The Carena is mainly chosen by boutiques and private clients who value aesthetics and design.

The main difference lies in the finish and interior design. A luxury safe can be fitted with exclusive materials, jewellery drawers, watch winders, lighting and a personalised layout.

For most applications, however, a standard safe is more than sufficient. A custom-made interior can also be installed in a regular safe.

Yes, a safe can be equipped with an electrical outlet, cable entry or internal lighting. This is particularly useful for watch winders, LED lighting and charging electronic devices.

The available options depend on the model and intended use. The installation is carried out without compromising the operation or security of the safe.
