Wireless Fire Alarms for Multi-Storey Buildings
Wireless fire alarm systems are an increasingly popular choice for multi-storey commercial buildings, offering flexibility, speed of installation, and minimal disruption. These systems communicate using secure radio frequencies, eliminating the need for extensive wiring — a major advantage in high-rise or occupied buildings.
Modern wireless fire alarms are highly reliable when installed by certified professionals. They meet the same British Standards (such as BS 5839-1) as wired systems and are subject to rigorous signal strength and integrity testing. Battery monitoring, signal redundancy, and fail-safe features ensure that alerts are triggered without delay.
