Each brand offers advanced fire detection technology designed for reliability, ease of installation, and compliance. Whether you’re looking for conventional, addressable, or wireless systems, we have the perfect solution to suit your specific requirements. If you need advice, contact us.
Choose from a wide selection of smoke and heat detectors, designed to work with various fire alarm protocols. Whether you need conventional, addressable, or bi-wire detectors, we have the perfect match for your system. Our smoke detectors provide fast, reliable detection, while our heat detectors offer robust solutions for environments with high dust or steam levels. Ensure compatibility with your fire alarm system and choose the right protocol for optimal performance and safety.
Commercial fire detectors include combined smoke and heat detectors, ideal for dusty or humid environments, reducing false alarms while monitoring both smoke and temperature. Heat detectors are used in high-temperature areas, with fixed temperature detectors triggering at a set temperature, and rate-of-rise detectors responding to rapid temperature changes. For protocols, conventional systems group detectors into zones, requiring manual investigation. Addressable systems assign unique addresses to each detector, providing precise location identification. Bi-wire systems use a two-wire connection, combining features of conventional and addressable systems for easier installation and better fault detection. The right choice depends on the environment and fire safety needs.
Commercial environments typically use ionization, photoelectric, or combination smoke detectors. Ionization detectors are sensitive to fast-flaming fires, while photoelectric detectors are better for smoldering fires. Combination detectors offer enhanced coverage by integrating both technologies.
Heat detectors respond to changes in temperature and are less prone to false alarms, making them suitable for areas like kitchens or garages where smoke detectors might be triggered by non-fire-related smoke.
Businesses in the UK must have fire detection systems that comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The type of system required depends on the building size, layout, and risk assessment. Most commercial properties need a BS 5839-compliant fire alarm system, which may include smoke, heat, and manual call points.
