Vaults
Vault rooms, also known as armoured strong rooms or high-security vaults, are reinforced enclosures designed to protect valuables, cash, documents, jewellery, digital assets, and sensitive materials against burglary, fire, and sabotage.
At Arcas Gruber, we design and manufacture vault rooms certified under UNE EN 1143-1, with security levels ranging from Grade 3 to Grade 11, covering all risk profiles from commercial premises to central banks and government institutions.
What Is a Vault Room?
A vault room is a fully enclosed high-security structure engineered to resist forced entry, mechanical attacks, thermal cutting, and prolonged burglary attempts. Unlike conventional strong rooms, certified vaults are tested as a complete system under laboratory conditions and classified according to the European standard UNE EN 1143-1.
Vault rooms act as the core security element in financial institutions, high-value storage facilities, and critical infrastructure.
Certified Vault Rooms – Grades 3 to 11
Arcas Gruber manufactures vault rooms certified from Grade 3 to Grade 11 under UNE EN 1143-1, ensuring reliable protection against progressive attack methods.
- Grades 3–5: Retail backrooms, pharmacies, jewellery stores, and commercial storage.
- Grades 6–8: Banks, police evidence rooms, cash centres, and secure logistics hubs.
- Grades 9–11: Central banks, bullion vaults, military and government facilities.
Modular Vault Construction System
Our vault rooms are constructed using multi-layer composite modular panels that interlock to form a sealed and reinforced enclosure. This system allows:
- Custom dimensions and layouts
- Installation inside new or existing buildings
- Future expansion or relocation
- Consistent certified resistance across all panels
The structure is designed to resist mechanical, thermal, and combined attack techniques.
