Using Hybrid Fire Detection for Challenging Applications
Providing reliable fire detection for any type of property can have its challenges. Different environments come with different obstacles to overcome; some areas require specialist detection, some have limited access and some have restrictions in place to protect the aesthetics of the property.
Hybrid Fire Detection for Garages
A garage is a walled, roofed structure that is traditionally used for storing vehicles. A garage can be part of or attached to a house or commercial building or a separate outbuilding or shed (detached). Garages can vary in size and can provide space for one, two or three cars but are also commonly used for storage of a variety of items from furniture and fittings to tools and equipment, or as a space to carry out projects such as painting, woodworking, and other hobbies or jobs.
Fire Alarm Systems – HMOs
An HMO, or House in Multiple Occupancy, is a building or part of a building (such as a flat) that is occupied by more than two persons living as more than one household. There are strict regulations for landlords operating HMOs to protect tenants from poor conditions. This includes ensuring the quality of the accommodation, that the landlord is suitable to manage an HMO, that there are not too many people living in an HMO and that high-risk HMOs are monitored. These regulations also include the provision of adequate fire precautions, including suitable and reliable fire detection.
Wireless Linear Heat Detection for Outbuildings
Outbuildings are usually small constructions that accompany a main building. Outbuildings can be anything from a shed, barn or stable to a garage, storage area or temporary building.
Hybrid Fire Detection for Thatched Roofs
Thatched roofs are made from dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge, rushes, heather or palm branches. The densely packed vegetation provides shelter from the elements and good insulation. Thatching is an old roofing method that was used in all sorts of climates. These days thatching is usually seen on the properties belonging to people who desire a rustic look for their home, would like a more ecologically friendly roof or who have purchased an original thatched cottage or house.
