How long is the piece of string I am holding.

Twice as long as half it's length?

Depends if you have tied the ends together, then you could argue it has infinite length!!

Horizon did a documentary on this a few years back. Fascinating. With Alan Davis presenting. Length of string not fire alarms

They only manufacturer domestic detection.

Hmm...if you tie the ends together it isn't infinite really. IMHO. It can then be arranged as a circle with length = circumference, by pie arse squared.
If it was flat string with 2 distinct sides and you twisted it before joing the ends well then you would have a Mobius strip, which some might agree has infinite length...however, you would still meet the starting point if you actually measured it with a tape...
Oh, look...it's beer o'clock!

Contact your wholesaler and ask them to get their fire alarm supplier to do a survey or take a look at your plans. Most suppliers offer this service for E/Lighting and fire alarms for free and will comeback with a design. If you're not sure its probably best that you don't take the responsibility of designing it.

"Excuse me, are you a piece of string?"

"No, I'm a frayed knot"

If it is a commercial building, what does the fire risk assessment and/or fire strategy say?, This is normally the first port of call.
