Gone are the days when choice in the security and fire protection sector was composed solely of standardised, typically aesthetically unappealing products, focusing instead on their defining technological features. Installers and end customers would have to adapt to the technology on offer, which was awe-inspiring, even before witnessing its intended purpose, simply because of its coldness, whether installed indoors or out.

Nowadays, in a world where the issue of security is becoming increasingly more central, companies in the sector are beginning to offer customisation in response to increasingly discerning and varied demands. It’s also a positive challenge for installers who can use these solutions to create enhanced ‘customised’ systems for any setting.

What actually makes a security solution unique is highly adaptive use: versatile solutions that are easy to install, using both traditional systems and wireless ones. Technological progress has allowed for small, discreet devices with enormous installation potential in settings as radically diverse as private homes, workplaces, or even public spaces. But that’s not enough. Design research has also paved new avenues of interest.

Most security and fire protection technologies these days can be proudly displaced in any setting, perfectly integrated into their surroundings. Attractive shapes and colours matching furniture make these tools the piece de resistance of technology, fitted in a space as a component key to its style.

Another opportunity for installers to listen to customers and offer tailored solutions for every setting, not just whatever is most subtle, but solutions that fit with the aesthetics in a way that enhances and defines their environment.
