Automatic fire sprinkler systems are an active fire protection method used worldwide, with over 40 million sprinkler heads fitted each year. Automatic fire sprinkler systems are designed to use as little water as possible at the very early stage of a fire's development. Having a sprinkler system is like having a firefighter in every room of your home or business. The aim is to contain and control a fire within seconds of it breaking out.
Fire sprinklers are now installed in lots of different premises to help protect them from fire, including warehouses, factories, offices, care homes, student accommodation, hospitals, libraries, and other commercial premises.
Sprinkler systems can help save lives, home, businesses and protect the environment.
Sprinklers provide enhanced protection and start fighting fire as soon as they are activated to lessen the impact of fire in many ways. All businesses can benefit from having a sprinkler system installed, including:
In buildings where sprinklers are fitted, the risk of death or injury is greatly reduced.
Sprinklers help protect your premises and reduce the risk of injury or fire death.
