C-Tec: products protects Grade 1 listed building Hawksyard Priory. A host of C-Tec’s life-safety products are now safeguarding Hawksyard Priory, a nursing home in Staffordshire.

Situated in Armitage in Rugeley, Hawksyard Priory is a Grade 1 listed building and is steeped in history. Built by the Dominican Order in 1896, the Priory is a former monastery, originally occupied by nuns of the Order, before being run by the monks as a boarding school for boys. In 1989 it was transformed into a 76-bedroom nursing home.

Last year the home underwent further renovation, which involved enlisting the services of top electrical installation company, Solid State. Specialist engineers from the BAFE SP203 accredited Lancashire-based company replaced the old fire alarm with a C-Tec XFP analogue addressable fire alarm system featuring over 200 Hochiki devices.

The new wing of the building has 12 sounder modules, driven by one of C-Tec’s EN54-4 compliant 24 V 3 A power supplies.
