Fire
sprinklers are the most efficient and effective safety devices known having
a 99.7% success rate worldwide.
Smoke
detectors only warn of a fire and depend on someone to alert the Fire Brigade.
Fire sprinklers not only warn of fire they also act immediately to extinguish
the fire even when no one is home.
Fire
in the home is responsible for over 75% of all fire related deaths in the
UK.
Your
chance of experiencing a serious fire in your lifetime is 1 in 5.
Fire
sprinklers are very reliable the chance of accidental operation is less
than 16,000,000 to 1.
Each
sprinkler is individually activated by only the heat from a fire and the
system will have gained control of the fire before the Fire Brigade are
even notified.
Sprinklers
use much less water than the Fire Brigade. Because the sprinkler tackles
the fire immediately it has a much smaller fire to deal with than the Fire
Brigade when they arrive. A sprinkler uses between 1% and 4% of the water
used by the Fire Brigade. So sprinklers also prevent water damage.
Residential
fire sprinklers are not expensive costing around £1200 for a 3 bedroom semi.
Fully guaranteed for 2 years your system will give a trouble free life of
around 50 years.
Houses
which suffer major fires are seldom able to be lived in afterwards and are
often demolished houses protected by sprinklers can be back in use within
a few hours.
Residential
sprinklers are small neat and very unobtrusive they are available in a wide
range of colours and styles and blend in to any decor.
Over
50% of fire casualties are either the young or the elderly and cannot help
themselves fire sprinklers could give them a fighting chance
