Key Features of Kidde Safety & Detectors

• Early warning detection: Safety detectors are designed to sound a loud alarm early, giving occupants time to react before a situation escalates.
• Smoke and carbon monoxide options: Choose the detector type that matches the risk, whether that is a fire hazard or a fuel-burning appliance such as a boiler or stove.
• Test and silence functions: A test button lets you check the alarm is working. Hush or silence features help with nuisance alarms, such as those caused by cooking fumes.
• Simple mounting: Ceiling and wall-mounted designs are quick to fit, which saves time on multi-property jobs and rental turnarounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide alarm?

A smoke alarm detects the particles produced by fire. A carbon monoxide alarm detects the toxic gas given off by faulty or poorly ventilated fuel-burning appliances. They protect against different risks, so most properties need both.

Where should I fit a detector?

Smoke alarms are normally fitted on the ceiling in hallways and landings. Carbon monoxide alarms should be in rooms with fuel-burning appliances. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and current UK guidance.

How often should I test my alarm?

Test it regularly using the test button, and replace any unit when it reaches the end of its stated life or if it fails a test.

Can I use a fire extinguisher on any type of fire?

No. Different extinguishers are suited to different fire types, so check the label and product specification before buying. If in doubt, seek advice from a competent fire safety professional.
