Sprinklers - Ultimate Protection
DOMESTIC AND RESIDENTIAL SPRINKLERS
If you want to be as sure as anyone can be that you are safe from fire, the answer is Domestic or Residential Sprinklers. These devices are rapidly growing in popularity, and it is only a matter of time before they will be a requirement of building regulations, as they already are in many areas of the world. There are many common myths about Sprinklers, such as: They cause water damage. They might accidentally go off. They are ugly and unsightly. Here are a few facts: Sprinklers are the most efficient and effective safety device know to man, they have over a 99% success rate in service world wide. It is claimed that, to date, no one has died in a building in which sprinklers have activated. Sprinklers use only a fraction of water compared with a fire hose. Sprinklers operate very early in the development of a fire, and consequently only require a relatively small quantity of water to extinguish the fire. Sprinklers are very reliable, the chances of a sprinkler going off accidentally are 1 in 16 million. You have far more chance of winning the lottery! Sprinklers can be recessed so they are flush with the ceiling, the only visible indication is a circular disc about 10 cm in diameter. This is much smaller and thinner than a smoke alarm, and can be coloured to suit your decor! For more information and a pictorial display please follow this link. |
