Smart Safety for Every European Home: How to Place Smoke & CO Alarms in Houses vs Apartments

In Europe’s diverse housing landscape, fire safety isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you live in a 4-bedroom house or a compact 2-room apartment, strategic alarm placement is critical. Here’s a tailored guide using Deheng Smart Electric’s professional solutions:

The 4-Bedroom House: Layered Protection

  1. Bedrooms (Critical Zones)
    → Install photoelectric smoke detectors outside each bedroom (e.g., Bedroom Photoelectric Smoke Detector).
    Why? Photoelectric sensors excel at detecting smoldering fires common in sleeping areas.

  2. Hallways & Stairs
    → Place interconnected smoke alarms on every floor. A hallway alarm triggers whole-house alerts.

  3. Kitchen & Garage
    → Use heat detectors (not smoke alarms) to avoid false triggers from cooking/engine fumes.

  4. Carbon Monoxide (CO) Defense
    → Position CO alarms near fuel-burning appliances (boilers, fireplaces) AND outside bedrooms.

The 2-Room Apartment: Compact Efficiency

  1. Combined Living-Bedroom Space
    → Mount a dual-sensor smoke alarm (photoelectric + ionization) on the ceiling.
    → Add a standalone CO detector near sleeping areas.

  2. Kitchen/Bathroom
    → Opt for a heat alarm within 3m of cooking sources.

  3. Critical Upgrade
    → Link all alarms wirelessly. A battery-operated interconnected system ensures alerts reach every corner instantly.

Why Deheng’s Solutions Fit European Needs

  • Bedroom Photoelectric Smoke Detectors: Engineered for early smoldering-fire detection (e.g., overheated bedding/curtains).

  • 10-Year Sealed Battery Alarms: Eliminate annual replacements – ideal for high ceilings or rental units.

  • Smart Silence Feature: Temporarily hush nuisance alarms (e.g., toast burning) without disabling safety.

  • 85dB+ Alarms: Audible even through closed doors in stone/brick-walled European homes.

Pro Tip: Test alarms monthly. Replace after 10 years – outdated sensors lose sensitivity.
