Sprinklers...The Facts

It is a fact that most houses which suffer major fires are seldom able to be lived in afterwards and are occasionally demolished.

Rooms that are protected by fire sprinklers can usually be back in use within a few hour after cleaning and perhaps redecoration. The rest of the house is usually unaffected.

Each of the sprinkler heads are individually triggered by the heat of the fire and will have reacted long before the Fire Brigade is even called.

Only the sprinklers directly affected by the fire will activate (NOT all of them), they use typically 10gal/min of water to control the fire.

You never know when or where a fire will start in your home. Fire sprinklers are by far the most efficient and effective safety devices known, having a better than 99% success rate worldwide.

Fire alarms and smoke detectors by themselves can only warn you of a fire, they are then dependent upon someone calling the Fire Brigade. Fire sprinklers not only warn of the fire but they also act immediately to contain and extinguish the fire.

Over 50% of all UK fire casualties are either very young, elderly, or physically impaired and cannot help themselves. So, for this reason, fire sprinklers even if they do not put out the fire, will at the very least raise the alarm and extend the time available for escape and rescue.

Modern residential sprinklers are small, neat and unobtrusive. Visitors are seldom even able to spot them.

They are available in a variety of finishes and colours to suit any décor, and are even available in concealed versions.

Fire Sprinklers are very reliable. The latest statistics show that the chances of one operating accidentally is 1:16,000,000... (one in sixteen million)...Less chance than you winning the lottery jackpot!
