Why install a Fire Sprinkler System?
Sprinkler systems have proven to be the most effective way to control or extinguish fires, across all building types and occupancy’s and as such have the following benefits:
Life safety:
As a sprinkler system activates in the early stages of fire development, it not only controls, extinguishes or slows the development of the fire, but also limits the generation of smoke and toxic gases, which is the primary cause of fatalities in fires. Sprinkler systems therefore allow your staff and/or clients to safely exit the building.
Protecting assets:
Sprinkler systems form the primary protection for buildings, infrastructure and stock against fire. Each system is designed to cater for the specific building, material and storage type thereby ensuring that the correct amount of water is available to control or extinguish the fire and also limit water damage.
