Using Linear Heat Detection in Wooden Structure and Heritage Properties
Heritage or historical sites are official locations where significant examples of military, political, cultural or social history have been conserved. They often contain valuable pieces of history and, in some cases, priceless artifacts. There are many types of heritage properties open to the public today which can range from museums and libraries to stately homes and can sometimes see hundreds of visitors pass through them each day.
Smoke Detection in High Ceiling Applications Using ASD
As a result designers and installers tend to use detection technologies such as beam detection and aspirating smoke detection (ASD) where smoke measurements over an area, rather than from a single location, are determined. Independent tests have shown that ASD has a far higher sensitivity to smoke than point detector technology, resulting in a superior ability to detect smoke that is diluted or distributed as it rises to higher levels.
Fire Alarm System for a high value Georgian Renovation
Eurofyre fire detection systems were recently supplied for the protection of a privately restored Georgian mansion and stables in the Newmarket, Suffolk area. The owner of the 3-floor property wanted to maintain the original aesthetics throughout the historic building, for which aspirating smoke detection provided the ideal solution for discrete area sampling. More traditional fire detectors were used in areas where aesthetics were less of a concern.
How the EF-ASD can be used to protect a lift shaft
With most modern buildings being multi-level, lifts (or elevators) are a critical part of a buildings operation, forming an essential part of a life safety strategy. It is vital that lifts and lift shafts are considered critical for fire protection and evacuation strategy and therefore it is vital that a lift and lift shaft are equipped with a suitable fire detection system.
Eurofyre Supply Fire Alarm System for 35M Townhouse
Eurofyre have recently supplied and commissioned a fire system for a London townhouse that’s reportedly worth over £35 million. Given the upscale nature of the 5-story building, located in central London, the fire alarm required was to be as discreet as possible in order to maintain the aesthetics of the property.
