Regulatory fire detection and alarm
The Belgian safety regulations now require the presence of specific fire detection and alarm systems, according to the number of rooms and their layout. We handle the installation of these regulatory systems, such as smoke detectors. For complex buildings, we install networks of detectors with area partitions in order to facilitate the intervention of emergency services.
Our company can also install all sorts of fire protection elements, such as fire doors, a visual markup of the evacuation roads, a security lighting system, an adequate ventilation system, and also smoke extractors on the roof or via high windows.

How high is the risk of false alarms ringing ?
N&D Progress, renovation contractor, always selects the best quality products. This precisely to ensure you benefit from their reliability thanks to the latest technological advances. Indeed, we always advise you to avoid low-cost products : a good reliable alarm system must be able to function correctly in all sorts of conditions. The most advanced systems on the market are able to discriminate between a human and a pet walking past a motion detector, or between a window being opened by an intruder or a window being rattled by the wind. Our latest security systems minimize considerably the occurrence of false alarms.
Why are fire detectors fitted with batteries ?
Some users complain about the need to replace the batteries in their fire detectors and alarms : the detector makes annoying noises when the battery runs empty, and the replacement procedure can be tedious. However, the battery system is more secure : if the detectors were only connected to the power grid, they could cease functioning in case of a short circuit. So, if the fire is caused by the short circuit, the detectors would stop working even before the fire starts !
Therefore, it's necessary to isolate each detector from the power grid. However, it can be linked to a fire station which can monitor its status at all times.
Which fire protection system is the most efficient ?
The most efficient protection is a combination of several relevant elements. The point of the system is to allow for a fast and secure evacuation of every person inside the building when the fire breaks out.
- Loud alarm inciting to immediate evacuation
- Evacuation paths markups
- Battery-powered safety lighting
- Smoke extractors
- Fire screens
Each person inside the building must be able to find an evacuation path, which must remain lit up even in case of power grid failure. The path must remain clear of smoke long enough for every person to evacuate the premises, and to allow the entrance of emergency services.
