Advanced reaches new heights at Manchester Climbing Centre
A
QuickZone conventional fire alarm system from UK manufacturer, Advanced, has been installed at
BlocHaus Climbing, Manchester’s newest bouldering wall. Newly opened, BlocHaus Climbing boasts
an array of facilities at its East Manchester site, including 130 climbable boulders, routing roof and on-site cafe. As part of the active fire protection for the
site, the 4-zone QuickZone conventional fire panel from Advanced has been installed alongside Hochiki conventional heat/smoke detectors,Apollo conventional call points and Roshni conventional sounders. Responsible for the design, installation
and commissioning of the fire system at BlocHaus Climbing were Manchester-based, Surefire Protection Ltd. Surefire installed the QuickZone panel alongside music shutdown integration to ensure clear audible notification for all building users in scenarios where the system goes into alarm.
Michael Rouse, fire alarm supervisor at
Surefire Protection Ltd, said: “As long-term partners of Advanced, we’ve worked with its solutions formany years and are confident in their capability to deliver high standards of protection throughout sites large and small. We only specify Advanced fire panels due to their quality, reliability and standard of technical support, and we firmly believe they offer the best solutions available for open protocol systems.” QuickZone is the conventional and
twin-wire fire system from Advanced that is quick and simple to install and manage and ideal for installations that have less complex programming and configuration requirements. Offering eight panel variants across the QuickZone and QuickZone XL product lines, the panels will support 2 to 32 zones, are approved to EN 54 parts 2 and 4 and support comprehensive false alarm management. Neil Parkin, sales manager for the North
of England and Ireland, said: “Surefire’s installation of Advanced at BlocHaus Climbing demonstrates our solutions’ versatility. Not only will you find our panels installed throughout airport terminals, hospital complexes and university campuses, but also smaller, less complex sites, such as offices, retail outlets and activity centres. Whether you opt for the simpler QuickZone panel, or the feature-rich QuickZone XL, Advanced can deliver the conventional system you need.”

esidents deserve unquestionable comfort and safety in the post pandemic era, as do the professionals responsible
for providing
it.Many things have changed over the past eighteen ormoremonths since our world was turned upside
down.However, perhaps its also true to say that some things such as expecta- tions and fundamental living principles have just been re-evaluated and prioritised into what’s important for personal well-being. For tenants and residents living in affordable homes; whether rented or part owned, that can often be distilled into a not unreasonablemust have list, which includes: fire safety and security, comfortable and durable surroundings, which demonstrate
contemporary design and all of which has real environmental credentials. As a key product in every home, interior
timber doors should always exemplify these criteria, without short-cuts, compromise, or half-measures. Being a leadingmanufacturer and supplier toHousing Associations, Local Authorities, social landlords and affordable homes developers, Vicaima door and doorset solutions ensure buyers and specifiers canmeet not only tenant expectations, but also to satisfy theirmany regulatory and practical concerns at the same time. Among themany challenges presented in the
social housingmarket and indeed elsewhere, is a lack of skilled labour and for thatmatter resources in general, when it comes to the installation of doors on site. This is often compounded by the reluctance ofmany tomove beyond the somewhat antiquated 20th century practice of face finishing doors in situ, with its inherent lack of continuity, added expense and drain on time. Fortunately, Vicaima’s extensive range of cost effective, designer led, fully finished products alleviate this concern. However, it does not stop there.With the supply of complete doorsets (door and frame), which not only speed up the installation time; but also ensure compli- ance with appropriate regulations, insuringmuch of the uncertainty is removed. Vicaima have always been at the forefront of regulatory and performancemeasures, with
