Domestic Sprinklers

Each of us runs a 1 in 5 risk of being involved in a serious house fire during our lifetime. Unchecked a fire can engulf a room in less than two minutes.

Sprinklers Can Provide Peace of Mind

A sprinkler system detects a fire early on, a calculated amount of water is discharged from the nearest sprinkler head in a spray pattern designed to contain the fire. As well as damping down the fire, the sprinkler system reduces the smoke and sounds an alarm, making evacuation easier.

Fire Service figures suggest that sprinkler systems can reduce death and injury toll by as much as 90%.
