FireAngel will supply Glasgow-based North View Housing Association('NVHA') with the Group's wireless interlinked battery-powered smoke and heat alarms.
The contract with NVHA to supply approximately 700 properties, is the latest in a series of related wins for FireAngel, follows the requirement, from 1 February 2019, for greater safety standards as part of the Housing (Scotland) Act. The new standards require all homes to have a smoke alarm fitted in the living room or lounge and in circulation spaces such as hallways, landings and kitchens. All fitted alarms are required to be interlinked so they can be heard throughout the property. Homes are also required to have a carbon monoxide alarm fitted wherever there are fixed combustion appliances.
Neil Smith, Group Chief Executive of FireAngel, commented: “We are delighted to see further traction across Scottish housing associations following the recent new legislation. Today's contract win with NVHA follows on from recent agreements with a number of other housing associations across Scotland, further demonstrating the requirement and demand for our compliant and interlinked products and further endorsing our strategy in this area.”
