Guard-X Protection incendie Fire Detection Devices: Efficiency and Compliance
We’re committed to offering only the highest-quality products that meet strict industry standards. While competitors may offer various levels of effectiveness, many systems on the market have a questionable price-to-performance ratio.
If you want a system that won’t let you down when it matters most, choose devices that comply with local laws and are recommended by our experts—and by the Montreal Fire Department.
At Guard-X, our devices are easy to install, discreet, and require minimal maintenance.
Our 3 most popular models:
• Resettable fixed-temperature heat detector
• Rate-of-rise heat detector
• Photoelectric (smart) smoke detector
These devices trigger your general alarm system when they detect smoke or abnormal heat—speeding up your evacuation procedures.

Where Should You Install a Smoke Detector?
Depending on the building type, fire detection devices should be installed in strategic areas. Most are ceiling-mounted, as smoke naturally rises. It's best to keep them away from:
- Windows
• Heating appliances
• Sources of steam
• Very dusty areas
• Fans or air vents
