No, you need should refer to BS 5839-6 latest guidance which recommends fitting a heat alarm in a Kitchen. The enhanced heat sensing element within our range of heat alarms is designed to alert for common kitchen fire and is less prone to nuisance alarms when cooking. A high number of false alarms caused within a kitchen are due to incorrect placement on smoke alarms – smoke alarms are not suited for kitchens and should be fitted within hallways, landings, bedrooms, dining rooms and living rooms.
Thermoptek is a type of smoke alarm sensor technology and is used in FireAngel’s Specification range of mains and battery powered Multi-Sensor smoke alarms, which is used and recommended by over 90% of the UK Fire and Rescue service.
Thermoptek technology provides a much faster response to fire, giving housing occupants more time to escape should a fire occur. This technology is available at an affordable price, and is sold at a similar cost to some other single-sensor units that are available.
FireAngel Multi-Sensor detectors are at the forefront of cutting-edge fire safety technology and are recommended by UK Fire and Rescue Services and also British Standards. Multi-Sensor detectors are easy to attain, install and maintain in a home. Multi-Sensor alarms are suitable for installation in hallways, landings, bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms.

As technology advances, fire safety is becoming increasingly advanced, readily available, and affordable. At the forefront of this is Multi-Sensor technology – whereby smoke alarm units are monitoring for more than one indication of fire – hence giving a quicker, more reliable, and faster reaction in the event of a fire.
By using a Multi-Sensor alarm – otherwise known as an “all in one smoke detector” or “combination alarm” – this eliminates the need to fit separate single-sensor products (e.g. ionisation and optical alarms). Not only does this reduce the likelihood of false alarms associated with these types of alarms, but it also more environmentally friendly as there are storage and disposal issues with ionisation alarms due to their small quantities of radioactive material (Americium 241). It is important to note that this material – used to detect smoke – is in the form of a sealed source and represents no hazard to those installing, or living with, the alarm.
