AREA OF REFUGE SYSTEMS
Area of Refuge Systems
An Area of Refuge (AoR) is an essential fire and life safety system designed to provide a safe, protected waiting area for occupants who cannot use stairs during an emergency, such as those with mobility impairments. Strategically located on each floor, these areas are built to maintain structural integrity and fire resistance, offering temporary, passive protection. AOR systems allows occupants to immediately signal their location and communicate directly with first responders. By providing this accessible, communicative, and protected space, AoR systems ensure compliance with accessibility mandates and significantly enhance the safety and efficient rescue of all building occupants.
INTERCOM SYSTEMS
Intercom Systems
Intercom Systems are a foundational element of modern security and facility management, providing instant, two-way voice communication crucial for both daily operations and critical emergencies. Beyond simple communication, a robust intercom installation functions as an integrated access control component, allowing verified communication before granting entry, thereby bolstering perimeter security. From controlling access at a single entry point to managing complex facility-wide security and emergency response protocols, intercoms deliver reliable and secure communication that is essential for operational efficiency and comprehensive safety.
AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEMS
