FIRE SAFETY & DISASTER RECOVERY FIRING UP THE NEW DIVISION
Colin Smith, Comelit UK’s Fire Manager, explores the latest industry trends and demonstrates how its stylish solutions can help FMs create an integrated approach to fire and security.
Comelit Group is known on a global basis as an Italian door entry manufacturer with high specification solutions. So it may have been a surprise to some to see the launch into fire detection. And yet it is something that has already proven successful across Europe in complementing its security portfolio.
where it states: “To keep fire risk to a minimum, it is just as important to prevent fires as to provide measures to protect people when fire occurs.”
PRODUCT SOLUTIONS We can advise on equipment required, presenting a range of specialist fire solutions, including conventional systems that are particularly suited to fire detection in smaller facilities and buildings with simple layouts.
Addressable panels can identify the precise location of a fire and are suitable for facilities of all types, residential and commercial. These panels include features such as 10,000 event logs, 250 devices per loop, up to 32 panel networkable and touchscreen control.
Both Comelit’s ATENA and ERACLE ranges feature smoke, heat and multi-sensor detectors as well as IP rated devices including sounders and callpoints.
Comelit’s ATEX systems can be used in zones where there is risk of explosion due to the nature of atmosphere and the elements it may contain. Each system comes with accessories to complete installations.
SETTING THE SCENE We live in a far more connected world where speed of data, as well as the cause and effect on how to manage situations, is becoming faster and simpler to analyse.
With all this in mind, from a fire, security, data and entertainment stance, we know FMs - who themselves are budget and resource stretched - expect more and they appreciate what they need to achieve to ensure compliance to latest standards.
Such discerning clients want to choose one partner that can help meet their requirements, act as one point of contact and efficiently provide integrated, all- encompassing bespoke solutions, without compromising on style within a premises.
CURRENT FIRE MARKET The fire industry is also facing significant changes, especially following the tragic events of Grenfell Tower. Commercial, public and private sector teams across the UK are more frequently requesting maintenance checks and fire system reviews, as a duty of care to their own staff and customer.
The FIA and Fire Safety Legislation has set a high standard, to emphasise the best way to approach fire safety is to take preventative measures.
Comelit’s new fire detection was designed to address these concerns, responding to clients with the same focus as latest legislation and industry body requirements,
