A modern solution to protect one of Scotland's most historic homes has been supplied by Chubb Fire.
Dumfries House, re-opened recently by HRH Prince of Wales after many years of private ownership, features a wireless fire detection technology installed by the company as a first line of defence.
It's designed not only to protect the building and its contents, including many priceless items of furniture, but also safeguard visitors from risk by providing an early indication of a fire being detected.
The wireless system was preferred so as not to interfere with the aesthetics of the building design. Explaining, Mike Schafer, chief executive of the Great Steward of Scotland's Dumfries House Trust said: "As a listed building, it was imperative that the ceilings and walls were not altered, thus eliminating the use of a conventional wired detection and alarm system."
Chubb Fire recommended a wireless EMS radio analogue detection system, placing detectors discreetly around the house linked to two control panels that perform a number of critical functions. These include monitoring of all detection devices, controlling sounders and signalling and providing power and battery backup to system.
Designed by 18th century architect brothers John, Robert and James Adam, Dumfries House in Ayrshire is said to be one of the most architecturally significant stately homes in the UK. It contains a unique collection of Chippendale furniture, plus rooms and their contents which have remained virtually unchanged throughout its history.
Last inhabited in 1993, the house was purchased in 2007 by a consortium of charities and heritage bodies, led by Prince Charles.
