Round-the-clock fire and security protection for care homes, student housing and apartments.
Care homes, student accommodation, HMOs and apartment blocks all house people around the clock — often the people least able to evacuate quickly on their own, needing fire detection and security matched to that reality.
A care home, block of student housing or apartment building is occupied around the clock, meaning fire detection has to be both highly reliable and easy to retrofit into buildings that were never designed with modern fire systems in mind — including the lift shafts that many multi-story blocks rely on.
Fire detection across care homes, student accommodation and apartment blocks typically uses a mix of addressable panels in larger or purpose-built blocks and wireless detection in older or converted residential buildings, where new cabling would be disruptive to occupied units. Aspirating detection is often used in lift shafts and communal plant rooms, where a standard detector is hard to reach and harder to maintain.
