Fibrillation

Fibrillation is the common cause of cardiac arrest. The rapid and uncoordinated rhythm of a heart beat categorised as either atrial fibrillation or ventricular fibrillation. Irregular electrical pulses from the pulmonary veins in the heart deregulate the hearts natural rhythm.

Fire and Smoke Seal

Fire and smoke seals are fitted to either a fire door or its frame and help to prevent the passage of fire and smoke. In the event of a fire the intumescent material expands sealing the gaps around the door and maintaining the door's fire integrity.

The seals are available with 30 or 60 minutes protection and can be either surface mounted or rebated into the door or frame.

Fire Escape Hoods

Fire escape hoods are designed to prevent inhalation of toxic smoke and gases in the event of a fire. They are designed to fit over the head, face or nose and mouth of a person escaping a fire and can provide up to 15 minutes protection against toxic smoke and fumes.
