Domestic and Residential fire sprinklers installations are becoming common place all over the world.
These life saving devices are proven to massively increase the chance of surviving a fire in domestic and residential dwellings.
If you have not done so already, perhaps it is time you looked into getting an automatic sprinkler system installed in your home or place of residence.
Please read on for more information.
Domestic Fire Sprinklers
Domestic fire sprinklers are used to protect single family homes or apartments. These systems can be installed into the existing structure of the property for a more aesthetic look. The heads can be concealed in the ceiling or side wall mounted.
Depending on the water pressure and flow coming into the property, this system can be attached to the existing water main. If there is insufficient pressure and flow then a tank and pump set can be installed in an appropriate location. | Residential Fire Sprinklers
Residential fire sprinkler systems are used to protect larger residences than that of a domestic system. These include care homes, homes for the elderly and disabled and some houses of multiple occupancies like student accommodation.
The majority of these systems require a large tank with a pump attached to produce the pressure and flow needed to supply the sprinkler heads. Sometimes this tank and pump can be installed outside of the main residence building. |
Advantages of Home Fire Sprinkler Systems
Advantages of Home Fire Sprinkler Systems
Fire Sprinklers are part of a fire protection system and is connected to a source of water supply at sufficient pressure which feeds to a network of pipe lines. Fire sprinklers are connected to these pipe lines at various strategic locations in the building. Originally installed only in factories, warehouses and offices, fire sprinklers are now available for residential buildings at affordable costs. These sprinklers detect the heat generated when there is a fire in the building and activate the system head which causes the water to be sprinkled over the area thus trying to control the fire. Once the sprinklers come into action, the fire alarm panel connected to the system alerts the fire emergency service. Thus it is easy to see that fire sprinklers do indeed reduce the damage caused by fire, by controlling the intensity before the fire engines arrive.
Smoke alarms that are commonly installed in homes, only give a warning about an impending fire, but do not control it when it occurs, whereas fire sprinklers are activated quickly to contain the intensity of fire.
Advanced home fire sprinklers are now available in the market. They are designed with sprinkler heads with response timings much faster than that of industrial and commercial sprinklers. Due to the fast acting trigger mechanism, home fire sprinkler systems are activated automatically to bring the fire under control quickly before serious damage is done to life and property.
