Commercial Fire Alarm Systems

A fire can cause significant damage to merchandise, computer equipment, machinery, building structure and lives. Commercial Fire Alarm Systems can prevent or mitigate the risk of fire as they are designed to monitor a building for fire threats and hazards. Detectors and sounders are typical examples of audible and visible indicators used by a Commercial Fire Alarm System to give essential advance warning of a fire. This system potentially buys you extra time to act in an emergency situation and gives you peace of mind. Alerting staff via these indicators, will allow emergency procedures to be followed; including evacuation of the building, tackling the fire if appropriate and contacting the emergency services.

The basic features of all Commercial Fire Alarm Systems include: Control Panel - This is the 'brain' of the system and connects to all satellite components and the monitoring station. Smoke Detectors - These are linked to the control panel with sensors that will warn when smoke levels reach a specific stage. Heat Detectors - Will monitor the building temperature and when this becomes too high, signals will be triggered. Photoelectric and Ionization Technologies - Are present in more advanced systems and monitor the buiding for possible fire threats. Manual Signal Boxes - Are invaluable in larger properties, as a person can activate a signal if a fire has been observed, allowing more time to act and could be noticed before being picked up by the automatic sensors. Sprinkler System - Can lower the temperature and reduce the size of the fire, allowing more time for evacuation and reducing building damage.

There are many types of Commercial Fire Alarm Systems available; some have text and call notification services for GSM (Global Service for Mobiles) systems to make sure you are kept well informed, wherever you maybe. In this case, a monitoring service will alert you when a sensor has been activated and the fire department will be called when a fire has been confirmed.

Commercial Fire Alarm Systems are rather complex, so it is important that they are fitted by knowledgable staff who have an excellent understanding of these systems. Our team of engineers are trained to the BSI and BAFE approved Standard of The Fire Extinguishing Trades Association (FETA).

It is important to assess your building type and design when deciding on the most suitable Commercial Fire Alarm System - our professional team can help you decide.
