Just wanted to get peoples opinion regarding a job ive been asked to do. The customer wants improved fire detection in there property, which is a 3 bed bungalow. There is no existing protection so my proposals are:-
. heat detector in kitchen
. smoke detector in lounge and corridor
. CO detector in lounge
The heat and smokes will be mains powered battery back up and interlinked. Supplied from a spare way in the DB. The smoke alarm covering the corridor is within 3 meters of all 3 bedrooms. The property has an entrance hall which i suppose would be classed as a circulation area although the client has asked if we can get away with not putting an alarm there as to look at the ceiling with the current lighting layout it would look terrible. The kitchen, lounge and corridor leading to the bedrooms are all accessible from the entrance hall. Reading other topics on similar subjects im thinking of using another spare way in the DB to supply the CO alarm in the lounge independantly . The lounge will then be covered by a smoke alarm and CO alarm but as there is a log burner installed i think this is necessary. What are your thoughts?
