A smart fire prevention system was recently installed in One Crown Place, London, a luxury apartment block home to 246 individual properties, offices and hotel rooms.
The innovative Firechief kitchen Stove Guard was fitted in the apartment block, offering an effective and unobtrusive fire safety solution.
In this case study we'll explain the specific need of the One Crown Place owners, as well as how Stove Guard was implemented.
What was the need?
One Crown Place is the latest high-rise addition to London’s skyline, home to 246 luxury apartments, high-quality office space, boutique hotel and members club. The development features two prismatic towers of 28 and 32 storeys.
The Fire Safety regulations which apply to high-rise living accommodations meant that the open-plan kitchens in each apartment would require a kitchen suppression unit to be fitted. Due to these units being highly visible the architects, designers and builders were open to the idea of an alternative, unobtrusive design-led fire prevention solution, such as the Firechief Kitchen Stove Guard.
What was the solution?
The Firechief Kitchen Stove Guard provides a worry-free approach to managing cooker top safety without affecting cooking. The Stove Guard does this by alerting the user of pre-fire conditions and if no action is taken, it automatically turns off the electricity supply to the cooker.
The benefits of the Firechief Kitchen Stove Guard
- Sleek sensor design, sympathetic to the décor of the apartment kitchens
- Signed off by Building Control
