Safestyle UK blaze the trail in fire safety at home

As part of a continuing drive to improve the security and safety aspects of our products, Safestyle in partnership with West Yorkshire Fire Service, previously involved in a 2 year long unique nationwide initiative aimed at increasing public awareness of fire safety in the UK.

Safestyle UK, which has offices across England and Wales, worked with the fire service to help ensure that householders devised a fire safety plan and had fire safety features fitted on their double glazed windows and doors so that safety as well as security became an issue in the home.

It is widely acknowledged that whilst double glazed windows and doors have dramatically improved home security, the strength and security of the glass and window fittings means that everyone with double glazing needs to think carefully about their means of escape in an event of a fire. "Everyone takes steps to improve home security" says Safestyle UK, Managing Director, John Ross: "but not many people consider fire safety. We want to remind homeowners to think NOW about what action they would take in an event of a fire. It could make the difference between life and death".

Safestyle UK fit special fire escape hinges as standard on all new windows where required, and they are also available as an optional extra.

"Safestyle UK is 100% committed to fire safety and to our customers and as such we are delighted to be the first window company in the country to take the fire safety message to all of our customers", John Ross continues. "We hope to ensure that our customers have both the early warning and the means of escape, as well as a plan to follow in case of an emergency."

Home Office Fire Safety Campaign

Safestyle UK’s commitment to raising awareness of fire safety issues was further illustrated in March / April 2000 as they supported the Home Office in a Pilot Media Campaign launched in the Yorkshire television region.

The campaign which included television, radio and vast leaflet distribution did much to convey the necessity of considering fire safety in the home and primarily devising action plans.

The partnership proved a natural progression to the extensive work Safestyle UK had already done in this area in conjunction with West Yorkshire Fire Service.
