Factors that you need to consider when installing Detectors:

Stairways:

  • The detectors are to be installed on flat ceilings in the hallway and landing of the staircase. Do not install the detectors on a sloped ceiling directly above the staircase.

Peaked and sloped ceilings:

  • Smoke Alarms: Detectors are to be sited at a maximum of 600mm down from the apex of the ceiling.
  • Heat Detectors: Detectors are to be sited at a maximum of 150mm down from the apex of the ceiling.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

When you go to install a Carbon Monoxide detector its sitting position will depend on whether you will have a fuel burning appliance or not.

A room with a fuel burning appliance:

  • Detectors should always be installed on the room's ceiling.
  • Detector to be sited 1 to 3 metres from the Carbon Monoxide source.
  • Must be sited at least 300mm from the room wall, light fittings, obstructions.
  • Should the fuel burning appliance be installed in a small cupboard/room that covers the fuel burning appliance then the detector should be sited on the ceiling close to the cupboard/room.

In a room without a fuel burning appliance:

  • Alarms should be sited at breathing height.
  • If installed within a bedroom, this could be at the height of the bedhead.
