We have the right solution for historic buildings and for cultural assets in museums and archives

Museen

Again and again, devastating fires destroy historic buildings and cultural assets which are of inestimable worth. Their irretrievable loss makes it clear that many places still do not have adequate fire protection.

Works of art, paintings, archives and historic artifacts all have one thing in common: They are unique objects of irreplaceable value. If they are lost then no insurance in the world can replace them. They need particular protection, simply because they cannot be replaced. Fire protection and the care and preservation of listed buildings are not contradictory terms: instead, fire protection can make a positive contribution to the care of listed monuments.

Combining professional fire protection with high requirements in terms of esthetics and the preservation of historic monuments is usually less easy than it may seem - even when retrofitting existing buildings.

In the event of a fire, it can take the fire services some time to force their way forward to the source of the fire, and fighting the fire usually involves the use of high volumes of water. For this reason, the protection of cultural assets calls for technical fire protection facilities which can detect a fire and fight it whilst it is still in the initial phase. Minimax has available a unique range of fire protection products and equipment and so is able to offer tailor-made fire protection solutions for each individual application, from a single source.
