How much is your property worth after a fire outbreak ?......


How useful and efficient is your property in a fire disaster ?

In the midst of fire, how much of your investment will be left behind , you probably be losing all your investment if you had not taken caution.
you can prevent fire with a fraction of the cost of rebuilding your house by installing professional smoke detector and fire resistance coat. This method is the most secure and cost friendly method .

Other methods:

you can take up insurance policy. should you pay 400000 Naira per month as premium for 12 months . that a total of 4.8 million in a year. In five years 24 million paid to your insurance company. that a cost of securing another property. be wise.

Will you be willing to pay 24 million Naira as premium to secure your property/investment....technically with the present state of the Nigerian economy; it not an optimal solution or cost friendly method to secure your property against fire.

Option 2: you can choose not to insure nor strategically protect your investment. this method is the worst approach , you are left to faith to count all your loss. you will have to rebuild your property/investment by yourself. hope you would be able to survive should you need to rebuild your burnt down property without insurance nor strategic fire protection.

Your final and best option is to use strategic fire protection.
with a combination of fire extinguisher, professional fire and smoke detector with fire resistant and retardant coat on the surface of your property.

Design consideration:
How does it work and benefit of strategic fire protection:

Fire resistant and retardant coats offer several advantages over untreated combustible building materials, they do not ignite or contribute to the spread of flame . The coatings, will insulate the surface from the heat for a period of time ( based on it rating ) by swelling up and expanding when exposed to flame, producing a heat resistant charred surface.

The relative rate at which flame spreads over a given surface and the degree of smoke development and toxicity. class ratings and their associated flame spread ratings are as follows:

Class Flame spread
Class "A" or I: 0-25
Class "B" or II: 26-75
Class "C" or III: 76-200

Fire retardant and fire resistant coatings that can withstand extreme temperatures (up to 2000° Fahrenheit) for an extended time (over two hours period). This fire retardant and fire resistant coatings can be applied on a wide variety of materials including sheetrock, wood, lath and plaster, concrete, sheet metal, tin, foam, foam composite panels as well as advanced materials such as fiberglass and carbon fiber. This makes a perfect security and safety for your building or property.

It a one time cost and last longer with the age of your property as compare to the option 1 of paying for insurance premium .

It advisable you do a two coat over every surface to guarantee maximum protection.

Applicable also to :

* Bank server and ATM room...... Protect your server and ATM room with Fire resistant and retardant coat. it cheaper and a better ROI compare paying monthly premium fee for insurance.

* Warehouse protection...... with increasing cost of doing business in Nigeria, it far cheaper to secure your warehouse with fire resistant and retardant coat compare to risk not insuring your goods or pay heavy premium to your insurance company.

* Residential Apartment ..... as a wise property owner don't cry had i know....the use of Fire resistant and retardant coat will increase the value of of your property, secure your investment. Also, it makes your property in high demand because it provide safety and security to life & property and against Fire. As a result your tenant will be ready to pay for value. Consider your option carefully.
