SMART FIRE PREVENTION SYSTEM INSTALLED IN PRESTIGE STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
What was the need?
The Fitzalan is a high-end student accommodation building located right in the heart of Cardiff city. It was created in 2017 when a series of one- and two-storey vertical extensions were added to the existing buildings to increase the size up to a total of 357 beds.
The Fitzalan’s owners, McLaren Property, were in the process of selling when the new owner requested a full upgrade of all electrical installations and fire safety measures prior to completion. As all accommodation includes a fully kitted out kitchen with a combi microwave and hob, fire prevention was considered of particular importance.
The solution
The Firechief Kitchen Stove Guard was fitted as standard in all 313 apartments.
The benefits
- Sleek sensor design, sympathetic to the décor of the apartment kitchens
- More cost effective than a suppression unit
- Easy and simple installation by the electrical contractors already working on site, some with students already living in.
- Continuous 24/7 protection for peace of mind. The device monitors and adapts to the occupiers cooking style
- No monthly testing or annual maintenance saving cost and hassle for property owners
- All students are fully aware of the Kitchen Stove Guard and how it works.
