For the ultimate peace of mind for you and your loved ones, as well as pro tection against natural disasters such as forest fires and flooding, Marbel la and the surrounding areas are welcoming the latest innovations in home protection and safety. Military-grade techniques and materials are behind Arcadia Engineering, who offer homeowners a range of products and ser vices to ensure their home and family are looked after to the highest degree. According to Arcadia Engineering owner Levi Boterdael, “Safety is one of the utmost priorities for families, especially while in the comfort of their home. Not only is it important to protect yourself with home security but also, for the ultimate peace of mind, to protect you and your family against any outside threat as well as natural disasters. Your home is your castle and you should feel 100 per cent comfortable in it.” Arcadia Engineering’s products range from panic rooms and jewellery safe rooms to fire detection and air purifying systems – for peace of mind, security and wellbeing in the home.
Panic Rooms A safe (or “panic”) room is a fortified room installed in a home to provide a safe shelter or hiding place if there is a home invasion, but these rooms can also store personal belongings such as jewellery and items of value. The rooms can be hidden with a secret passage or hidden door and can also be bullet-proof or anti-explosion. These panic rooms contain communication equipment with artificial intel ligence, and the rooms are encased in concrete or steel for maximum du rability. They can be positioned within the house or within the property site. Depending on the requirements, the panic rooms can be singular rooms or a larger area with multiple bedrooms, living areas and bathrooms for the entire family.
Secret Passages and Storage Rooms Hidden routes throughout the home for stealthy travel allow the movement of people or goods, and it is common for these to lead into secret rooms, so that the family can enter or exit buildings without being seen. There is
a choice of customised doors to fit the décor of the home and provide a seamless and invisible entrance. The most common use of a hidden bookcase is security. Unlike conventional safes or vaults, a secret passage or vault will not direct criminals to the loca tion of your valuables. In addition, secret rooms provide more space for stor ing valuables, leaving you able to store and display valuables conveniently.
Anti-Fire Systems The Arcadia long-range EFD system uses advanced AI-based early fire de tection algorithms to alert you to the early signs of a wildfire breakout in the surrounding area – a particular concern in the south of Spain and for homes located in the mountainous areas of the Costa del Sol. This is an advanced system compared to existing detection methods which have “over tempera ture” alarms, and therefore enables early evacuation and fire alarms.
