How Does a Residential Fire Sprinkler System Work?
With 99% success rate, automatic Fire Sprinkler Systems are engineered to deliver a specific amount of water directly to the fire’s origin in its early stages, helping control, contain, and often extinguish the fire before Fire and Rescue Service arrive.
Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems feature a network of pipes connected to individual sprinkler heads. During a fire, hot gases rise to the ceiling, activating these heads, which contain a thermal element, such as a temperature-sensitive glass bulb with a plug. When the temperature reaches 58-68°C, the element activates, releasing water at 40-70L/min from that single sprinkler.
Retrofitting in social housing flats, heritage buildings, or fire remediation works for purpose-built flats can be achieved by installing pipework on the ceiling’s surface and then encasing it. Compared to concealed systems, this offers simplicity and speed by avoiding the need to lift flooring or remove sections of ceiling to access voids for pipework.
