Reliable solutions for historic structures
Listed buildings not only stand out through their impressive appearance, they also have a culturally historic value. This is why they are protected, in order to maintain them for eternity, if possible.
Listed buildings are a real challenge for electrical installations and their renovation is complex. This is because monument protection and the current requirements for fire protection, lightning protection and technical equipment are frequently at odds. This is why special solutions must be found. A fine thing then that special solutions are standard for OBO.

OBO provides safe electrical installations in listed buildings:
- Fire protection ducts In case of fire, escape and rescue routes must always remain free of fire and smoke. This is because they are not only used for safe evacuation, but also represent key points of attack for the fire brigades. OBO fire protection ducts are a secure solution for installation in escape and rescue routes, as they actively encapsulate the fire load, thus preventing a fire spread.
- Underfloor systems: OBO underfloor systems unite the maximum of functionality with high-quality design. An example: The OBO GES9M service outlet – it offers a refined solution for installation in historical wooden floors.
- Cable insulation: With the OBO cable insulation, you are always on the safe side. It is particularly suitable for including previously routed cable bundles in fire protection measures at a later time. Special applications for ceilings in existing buildings are also a part of our portfolio, as are fire protection systems in wooden beamed ceilings. Fire protection and wood this may sound like a contradiction, but it need not be. If electrical installations in wooden buildings have to be run through walls and ceilings with a fire resistance period, then they must be insulated, in order to prevent the spread of fire. This can be done using fire protection insulation, which seals ceiling and wall penetrations reliably against fire and smoke with a soffit of non-combustible material. The OBO insulation systems offer comprehensive protection for the maintenance of fire sections – particularly for wooden components.
