PREMIUM fire safety SYSTEMS FOR DOMESTIC PROPERTY
Fire Alarm Systems are a necessity in your home and can prevent death. Castle Security can monitor your fire alarm system so that your battery is automatically checked daily to ensure it will work in the event of an emergency.
Smoke alarms and fire detection systems are a life-saving device that are too often neglected. Many homes have one fitted but forget to test it periodically and replace the batteries yearly. Some houses don’t have any alarms installed at all. It is extremely important that houses have at least one smoke alarm on each floor, and that they are kept in sound working order.
We’re specialists in selecting and installing smoke alarms correctly – and making sure they are in working order. This is a crucial role for housing providers and M&E contractors, together providing the best protective standard possible for tenants. This comes down to fitting a suitable alarm in an appropriate location, and ensuring compliance with legislation and recommended best practice. For instance, under the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015, private landlords are required to have at least one smoke alarm installed on each storey of their properties, and a CO alarm in any room containing a solid fuel burning appliance (e.g. a coal fire, wood burning stove).
Fire alarm systems we provide
- Ionisation alarms – these are sensitive to small particles of smoke produced by fast flaming fires.
- Multi-sensor alarms – mullti-sensor alarms contain two separate sensing elements – optical and heat detection. As the unit monitors for two different by-products of fires (smoke and temperature), its response to all types of fire is vastly improved over traditional single sensor alarms. They are also less prone to false alarms associated with the ionisation and the optical type alarms.
- Heat alarms – these can detect an increase in temperature and are insensitive to smoke
- Optical alarms – these are effective at detecting larger particles of smoke from slow-burning fires
