Office and Residential
Keeping your home, business, loved ones and property safe is of paramount importance. For ultimate safety and adaptability FireClass products can be installed to protect any environment. In corporate office buildings, false alarms can be an expensive and time consuming blight on business and the fire and rescue services.
The FireClass range features a number of enhanced fire detection technologies designed to improve the management of false alarms and reduce their impact.
Retail
Retailers large and small face the constant challenge of loss prevention, whether through vandalism, theft, fraud, or robbery. Industry statistics tell us that commercial fires cost billions of dollars to the economy and more than 50% of private businesses never recover from such incidences.
Protecting a business against fire and smoke damage is important, but safeguarding the welfare of employees and customers should be of primary concern in the overall running costs of any business.
Hotels
Hotels often offer a complex challenge with varying room sizes, restaurants, leisure facilities and public areas all under one roof. The reliability of the system is paramount as its primary function is to protect life
FireClass systems provide the most effective cover, performance you can count on with minimum disruption to the operation of the building and its occupants.
Care Homes
The reliability of a suitable fire detection and alarm system within a residential care home is paramount as its primary function is to protect life. Unlike most buildings whose occupants are of sound mind and body, this is not always the case in residential care premises and this should be taken into account when planning your fire detection system.
Disruption can be stressful to residents and it is therefore vital that the chosen system provides effective cover, performs reliably, and gives the maximum possible warning in the event of fire, given the additional difficulties in evacuating residents to safety.
Manufacturing and Warehousing
Warehouses and manufacturing spaces can vary enormously in size and process, some being fully automated and some having multiple occupants at different times of the day.
Distribution warehouses can be difficult places in which to work as they may require specialist platforms for working at height and could present on-going problems for maintenance and repair.
