Who Are C-TEC?
Established in 1981, C-TEC is a leading independent manufacturer of high quality life safety electronic equipment. Operating out of Wigan, C-TEC holds a unique and powerful position in the UK market: they design and manufacture the entire fire alarm ecosystem under one roof.
In many modern fire systems, control panels are built by one brand and the detectors by another. Because C-TEC manufactures both the panel and the devices, there are zero compatibility issues, incredibly fast UK based support, and significantly lower hardware costs for the end user, as there are no third party protocol licensing fees.
C-TEC offers a diverse range of fire detection equipment to suit any budget or building size:
- The CAST Protocol (Addressable): Powered by their revolutionary CAST technology, C-TEC’s addressable panels (the touchscreen ZFP and the highly popular XFP) provide superior detection and massive application scale.
- ActiV & CFP (Conventional): The UK industry standard for simple, rapid installations in smaller, cost conscious applications.
A standout innovation in their premium range is the CAST-PRO Multi-Device. Rather than paying for and installing separate smoke detectors, sounders, and flashing beacons, C-TEC combines all three into one sleek, award winning ceiling unit—slashing installation time by up to 30% and providing a much cleaner aesthetic.
C-TEC Fire Alarm System Design & Installation
WFP is a leading provider of C-TEC fire alarm systems, and we can help you with every aspect of choosing, designing, and installing the right solution for your premises.
C-TEC is our absolute go to recommendation for schools, local authorities, residential blocks, and commercial builds where budgets are closely monitored, but premium, fully compliant features are still required.
Because C-TEC’s native CAST protocol has a massive capacity of 255 devices per loop, it keeps your hardware costs remarkably low you get the power of a highly advanced network without having to pay for oversized, multi loop panels. Furthermore, CAST systems feature intelligent “soft auto-addressing,” meaning the panel automatically locates the devices on the network. This allows WFP engineers to commission your system rapidly, reducing labor costs and site disruption.
Ultimate Flexibility: Apollo & Hochiki Compatibility
While C-TEC’s own devices are exceptional, their premium addressable control panels (the ZFP and XFP) are also highly versatile and can be supplied to run industry standard open protocols like
Apollo (XP95/Discovery) and Hochiki (ESP).
This makes C-TEC an incredibly cost effective solution for system upgrades. If your building’s existing control panel is failing but you already have Apollo or Hochiki detectors on your ceilings, WFP engineers can easily upgrade your control panel to a modern, UK built C-TEC unit without the massive expense of replacing your existing detection devices.
From the initial design to the installation, we manage the entire process for you. Once your C-TEC system is installed, we thoroughly test and certify it, giving you complete confidence that your building meets all legal requirements while protecting your bottom line.
