THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A SPRINKLER SYSTEM FITTED
- Immediate Alert! In conjunction with the sprinkler
system, an automatic alarm will warn occupants and emergency
response personnel of the developing fire
- Reduced heat and smoke damage, significantly
less heat and smoke will be generated when the fire is extinguished
at an early stage.
- Enhanced life safety for owners,
occupiers and tenants
- Immediate notification and control
of a developing fire - sprinkler systems respond at all times, including
periods of no occupancy
- Design flexibility - egress route
and fire/smoke barrier placement becomes less restrictive since early
fire control minimizes demand on these systems
- Limits the maximum ceiling temperature
to no greater than approx 315 °C
- Limits the maximum temperature at
1.6 m above floor level to no greater than approx 93°C
- Attains the above criteria with
no more than two sprinkler heads operating
Sprinklers save lives!
Sprinklers are the most effective fire safety device every invented. Look at
the comparison with smoke alarms and no fire (sprinkler) protection at all. The
National Fire Protection Association reports that people with smoke alarms fitted
to their homes have a 47% better change of surviving a fire. Adding sprinklers
along with smoke alarms increases your change of surviving a fire by over 97%.
Sprinklers save property!
Domestic/residential sprinklers are designed to save life,
but because they control fires so quickly, they also reduce property
damage. Fire reports show that property damage is NINE times lower in
sprinklered homes.
