Our fire blankets are made from high-performance, non-combustible technical fibers. They prevent the spread of flames in the event of a fire between internal combustion vehicles, electric vehicles, and lithium batteries in a museum.
The preservation of cultural heritage is essential. Therefore, implementing a risk prevention and asset protection plan is a priority. Through the manufacture of fire and heat-resistant covers and tarpaulins designed to quickly protect paintings, sculptures, and other works of art, we ensure that rescue operations are facilitated.
Protech Sentinel: Bruno Saudemont’s invention to save works of art
First fire blanket designed specifically for Cultural Property Safeguarding Plans (PSBC)
Designer: Bruno Saudemont – Prev Sécurité 62, Saint-Martin-au-Laërt
1. History and Date of Creation: 2016
In 2016, Bruno Saudemont, head of Prev Sécurité 62, observed the lack of suitable fire protection for museums. Together with Atelier Audomarois, he developed the first prototype of a large-format fireproof blanket for works of art.
The project was subsequently industrialized by Apronor under the name Fire Cape, before becoming Protech Sentinel.
2. First official application: Sandelin Museum – SDIS 62
Protech Sentinel was tested and deployed in 2016 for the Sandelin Museum’s fire suppression system in Saint-Omer, in partnership with SDIS 62. Exercises demonstrated its effectiveness in protecting paintings, sculptures, and archives from heat, smoke, and water used for fire suppression in less than 30 seconds.
