Case Study: Christchurch Priory achieves discreet historic fire protection with Xtralis VESDA VLC and OSID

Christchurch Priory protects historic interiors with Xtralis VESDA across 17 units

Christchurch Priory, a historic church in Dorset, England, faced the challenge of protecting its landmark building from fire without compromising its aesthetics or triggering nuisance alarms from candles and incense. Xtralis was selected to provide a discreet and highly effective fire detection solution for the complex architectural space.

Xtralis implemented its VESDA VLC aspirating smoke detectors and an OSID beam detector. The solution provided reliable, early warning smoke detection that was discreetly installed within light fittings and ceiling structures to remain visually hidden. The outcome was a comprehensive and visually integrated fire protection system covering the entire priory, giving staff peace of mind and allowing for early intervention without causing unnecessary panic among visitors.
