Thinking of moving that smoke detector? Stop before you snip! 🛑✂️
Renovating your office? Putting up new partitions? It’s tempting to think moving a fire detector is just a 5-minute electrical job. But under the new BS 5839-1:2025 standards, a few inches can be the difference between a system that saves lives and one that fails an inspection. 📉
When you change your layout, you change the way smoke travels. "Eyeballing" the new location could lead to:
Shadow Zones: Hidden areas where smoke can't reach the sensor. 🌫️
Stagnation Issues: Breaking the rules on distances from walls and beams.
At Sight Force Fire & Security, our D&A designers don't just move devices; we re-calculate safety. We ensure your warehouse or office remains a fortress of compliance, keeping your team safe and your business protected.
Is your latest office shuffle still compliant? Don't wait for the Fire Marshal to tell you it isn't.
